Hello Benjamin Films presents Fascination at REDCAT!

Our second online screening with the REDCAT Theatre is here! Curated by Rajee Samarasinghe, catch Fascination this Monday 11/9 at 8pm PST.

Recent short films take you on an unexpected journey from India to Haiti and from Argentina to Thailand, as they strive for contemporary modes of expression to explore distance, desire and spirituality. Protagonists navigate harrowing and surreal scenarios built around the past, generating ecstasy in their pursuit of freedom or paradise. Through radical manipulations of analog and digital material, these films describe an oneiric world of longing, rooted in a desire to experiment with film language. Titles include: Les îles (Islands) by Yann Gonzalez (2017), Monster God by Agustina San Martín (2019), And What Is the Summer Saying by Payal Kapadia (2018), and Second Generation by Miryam Charles (2019).

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers moderated by Rajee. Get your tickets here!
