FR 2021, D: Bertrand Mandico, A: Elina Löwensohn, Christophe Bier, Ekaterina Ozhiganova, 37′, OV with English subtitles, 35mm, German premiere

Added to that comes DEAD FLASH, a crepuscular, surreal and sensitive trip. We see a succession of glam images: beat-up figures are wandering through dreamlike landscapes, until an (apelike) apparition of a model plays martyr and demiurge together with her photographer at a photo shooting. In a world of moving surfaces, they attempt to achieve something like grace.
