Promised Spaces - bocalupo films

Sleepless from the heat, Sokun leaves his crowded construction dormitory and joins a community of fellow workers living in one of many unfinished high-rises.
One such tower offers a long-awaited luxury home for its first tenant, Seda, who soon feels trapped in the vast gated complex.

Dead Slow Ahead
by Mauro Herce
2K - 5.1 / 74’ / 2015

A freighter crosses the ocean. Perhaps it is a boat adrift, or maybe just the last example of an endangered species with engines still running, unstoppable.

Un cargo traverse l’océan. Peut-être est-ce un bateau à la dérive, à moins que ce ne soit juste le dernier représentant d’une espèce en voie de disparition, dont les moteurs continuent à tourner, inextinguibles.
