Commensal
Director
A two-channel installation utilizing both digital video and 16mm film, Commensal focuses on the controversial figure of Issei Sagawa, who gained notoriety in 1981 when, as a graduate student in Paris, he murdered a fellow student and engaged in acts of cannibalism. After his release from a mental institution, Sagawa returned to Japan, and later appeared in innumerable documentaries and sexploitation films. In contrast to earlier journalistic documentaries on Sagawa, the film suspends moral judgment and explores a realm that eludes classification as either “documentary” or “pure fiction,” to instead chart the ambiguous territory between crime, fantasy, and social realities, between an individual and the economy of his public persona.

Ah Humanity!
Director
“Ah humanity! reflects on the fragility and folly of humanity in the age of the Anthropocene. Taking the 3/11/11 disaster of Fukushima as its point of departure, it evokes an apocalyptic vision of modernity, and our predilection for historical amnesia and futuristic flights of fancy. Shot on a telephone through a handheld telescope, at once close to and far from its subject, the audio composition combines excerpts from Japanese genbaku film soundtracks, audio recordings from scientific seismic laboratories, and location sound.”—Ernst Karel, Verena Paravel & Lucien Castaing-Taylor
Still Life / Nature morte
Director
A short companion to Leviathan, set inside the fishing vessel.
Манакамана
Producer
Фильм Манакамана повествует об индуистском легендарном святилище Манакамана. Оно является одним из самых посещаемых храмов в Непале. Считается, что это священное место обладает способностью исполнять любые желания. Священный храм построен в честь богини Манакамана, которая сопровождала бога Шиву, как говорят легенды. В религии индуизм эта богиня является символом добра. Она прославилась после того, как поборолась со злыми демонами. Многие паломники верят в то, что храм Манакамана в действительности способен исполнять желания, однако, для этого необходимо сделать кровавое жертвоприношение.
