Trailer

Why watch this film?

A visual dive into how our notions are transforming after (and during) the coronavirus pandemic. Director John Smith makes a curious parallel between politics and society, using images from the government and buildings of the United Kingdom. As he critiques his own art and how it has become a tool of capitalism, he also weaves a reflection on the commodification of time and space.
