Pacific Vein
Germany2024animated12'Short Matters!
"Pacific Vein" takes us through a painterly panorama of the US West. Assange stands between imperial, Roman fake buildings as a soda maker and ponders the digitalization of our world. Around him, hippies, artists, and homeless people search for meaning while surveillance cameras capture their messages. Media and fiction merge hypnotically with doc-footage. The empire is diligent and nervous, the American Dream glitched into a ghostly autosuggestion. Where is the enemy, who has the image rights?
