IF YOUR HEART WANTS IT (REMIX)

Pilvi Takala
Finland
15 min.

Slush is a 3-day congress whose stakes are tech start-ups development, a capitalist outbreak where large investors intersect. “If your heart wants it (remix)” is a reconstruction of this event.

“If your heart wants it (remix)” symptomatically illustrates corporate culture, respectively as one focused on growth and constant gain — its obsessions being quite palpable in the documentary — trend, technology novelty, augmentation, digital, transhuman. Takala works with documented material on the field, at congresses, and voice-overs; without them merging in a natural diegesis, but rather a diegesis created by her, in a somewhat camp note — the conversations between investors being visibly manufactured to represent a neoliberal stereotype. At the same time, her documentary is an open call for policy regulation and reflection on how this capitalist thirst for progress can have long-term negative impact. (Emilian Lungu)

IF YOUR HEART WANTS IT (REMIX)

Pilvi Takala | Durata 15 min.

Slush is a 3-day congress whose stakes are tech start-ups development, a capitalist outbreak where large investors intersect. "If your heart wants it (remix)" is a reconstruction of this event.

THE CAPACITY FOR ADEQUATE ANGER

Vika Kirchenbauer | Durata 15 min.

A self-reflective visual essay, "The Capacity For Adequate Anger" seeks to explore subjectivity as a nonviolent manifestation, a subjectivity whose anger is suppressed by social oppressing forces.

FANTASMA NEON

Leonardo Martinelli | Durata 20 min.

"Fantasma Neon" is a metaphor for the invisibility of delivery people, and for the indifference with which they are treated in a capitalist and neo-liberal society. Dance and music come into play in the film with a double stake: form of protest / coping mechanism.

LES DÉMONS DE DOROTHY

Alexis Langlois | Durata 29 min.

A young director struggles to make queer and campy films without funding and with the pressure to change her aesthetic out of necessity into a mainstream one, anxiety that materialises in a visit of her inner demons in one of her dreams.

VO

Nicolas Gourault | Durata 19 min.

The deadly accident caused by a software-driven car brings to light the vulnerability of even an AI to fault. VO proposes an issue of ethics regarding the instrumentalization of AI: is the agency of a computer reliable, or must it be fully regulated?
