Competition: A Machine to Live In

 

Directors: Yoni Goldstein, Meredith Zielke
USA, 2020, 80’, HDD, color
Portuguese with Turkish, English subtitles

A hive-like consciousness scans a space-age metropolis: an unstable landscape of mystical architecture and oneiric technology emerges. From this cosmic dream, the specter of totalitarianism takes form. A Machine To Live In is a sci-fi documentary about the utopian imaginary, set in the Brazilian hinterlands.
