UK Competition 1: Drifting Towards Dreamsource

+ Q&A

Tracing searches for truth, place, and connection in a world where presence flickers and meaning drifts.

  • Total running time 115min

A selection of UK Competition films charting restless searches – for truth, for belonging, for connection. A voice is lost and remade. A man finds himself stranded among mystics and emus. A filmmaker drifts dreamily between screenings. Another navigates the opacity of digital-age communication, and one meditates on the loss and reclamation of Black community. Elsewhere, a boy’s wonder at the solar system collides with online skepticism.
