Shorts: Tiny, Lonely Fish Floating in Dark Water

TINY, LONELY FISH FLOATING IN DARK WATER

Urban flânerie featuring unfolding city lives, collective struggles, and fleeting intimacies amid the hustle and bustle.

TINY, LONELY FISH FLOATING IN DARK WATER brings together a mosaic of urban gazes across continents, weaving everyday situations and collective anecdotes into cinematic vignettes. From neon-lit nights in 1980s Tokyo to the fractured infrastructures of New York, from the rhythms of a Mexico City neighbourhood to the quiet vastness of Ulaanbaatar's empty high-rises, these films observe how people navigate urban space and each other. Together they orbit the many hearts of disparate cities, probing identities, intimacy, and resilience in search of forms of belonging that surface, fracture, and reconfigure within the shifting currents of urban life. (97)
