Through images shattered by point-cloud pellets, we dive into the consciousness of a drone pilot. On a peacekeeping mission in a deflowered landscape, he monitors strategic objects of desire while psyop e-girls from lithium holes tempt him into an unauthorized descent into their huts. However, a preventive operation triggers new ailments, and the inner healer must activate. Erotic geopolitics of the early 21st century. A large part of the film was shot with a depth camera. The poem Three Economic Units by Tomáš Čada is the source for the film.

Andran Abramjan has directed a number of short and medium-length documentaries and experiments, often dealing with science, society or absurdity. His essay To Rule, To Work, To Earn, To Pray, To Collapse received a special mention at Ji.hlava IDFF and his feature-length docu-fiction Empire Builders (2018) won the best Czech documentary debut award at Elbe Dock film festival. He has graduated from the documentary department of Prague’s FAMU film academy.

He has created short and medium-length films exploring the limits of form and narration. He has graduated from the film directing department of Prague’s FAMU film academy (BA). Currently, he is working on his feature-length debut.

The screening will be followed by a discussion with the authors.
