Set in a hypothetical future where humans are immortal, Jared Leto plays the last living mortal at 118 years old who on his deathbed, and with a fading memory, tells a journalist his life story which starts to fragment and explore the paths his life could have taken based on decisions he could have made. It explores the multiverse hypothesis and I was always struck by the concept, and the line ‘until you make a choice, everything is possible’.

i love anything that explores multiple realities/paths. An idea that occurred to me after almost getting hit by a car crossing the street: the protagonist is going about their day. We see them cross the street, continue their normal life. We then also see the audiences perspective as they get hit by a car or bicycle. The main character has no idea this happened to them and goes about their day. Are they in a coma? Did it really happen? Is this what death is? Is their soul separated from their body? I don't have any other details f fleshed out but I like the concept.

Set in a futuristic world where humans have mastered technology and all material boundaries to the extent that they have mastered themselves, ANDROMAXIA depicts a woman's determination to capture the spotlight as one of the few human models in a fashion industry dominated by humanoids.
In a statement, Szien discussed his idea of the future and the collective anxiety that coexists with the drive to innovate: "In my vision, this type of progress inevitably pits its products against humanity itself.
The whole concept of the film revolves around what one would not readily accept as future prospects for human-induced progress.".

From Hong Kong, Wong Ping is an animator who explores desire, shame and morality in his surreal films that are at once naive and knowingly shocking. I discovered him first on NOWNESS through his short, ‘Doggy Love’, and was immediately entranced by the lo-fi, psychedelic pop animation and narration of a NSFW valentines love story.

Ulver originated as a black metal band in 1993 but defied the traditions of the scene by experimenting with genres and soundscapes to build a career which has taken them to the worlds of pop, ambient and jazz. Perdition City marked their exploration into ambient music, written as the soundtrack to an imaginary film. It's moody, introverted and atmospheric, and is the album that I reference the most. An underappreciated piece of art which I would love everyone to explore.

I went through life never having a hobby but I found one last year, and it’s going on Speedboats. They are fun, fast and ridiculous.
