Shorts: Distant Voices

The soft murmur of distant voices. The hauntological and oblique, our personal lost utopias, memories we just can’t shake.

Seven films that chart our memories, realities, and objects of nostalgia: The last remaining Mimic in England, impersonating those we have lost; Bubba, a virtual browser-dog snuffed out with new programming; a student who finds himself waking in the strangest of places; a mythical Mayan figure that brings death and despair; a shadow puppeteer haunted by memories of the Khmer Rouge; a man walking through island streets, searching for ghosts; a simple game of trading cards, taking place in the space between then and now. DISTANT VOICES investigates the hauntological, those lost things we can never get back.
