London Premiere of The Human Surge 3 +Q&A

Experimental Argentinean director Eduardo Williams returns to the bold, time-and-continent-skipping world of his 2016 film The Human Surge and constructs something even more immense, fearless, and breathtaking. As in that earlier film, groups of friends from different parts of the world interact in the downtime between work, drifting and existing in constant motion along with the camera. Yet Williams here pushes things even further into a kind of hypnotic abstraction, filming in Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and Peru and achieving an unprecedented fluidity between spaces and feelings, natural splendor and human sensuality. Working as always without a locked script, Williams highlights the beauty of language and the sensations of people traversing liminal states of being, moving toward a kind of otherworldly queer utopia.
In The Human Surge 3, Williams explores the use of a 360-angle camera, providing an eccentric and powerful journey in different corners of the world, in which groups of friends wander in a dark, rainy and windy world. They spend time together, trying to get away from their depressing jobs, meandering constantly towards the mystery of new possibilities.
Join us for the London Premiere of The Human Surge 3, presented by Cinema Mentiré and ICA's Off-Circuit. The screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with Eduardo Williams.
