k.364 A Journey by Train
Synopsis
It is a journey through a landscape and a past that is still only vaguely resolved for the protagonists. We accompany the musicians as they leave Berlin, travel through the town of Poznan, where the former Synagogue is still used as a swimming pool. The journey takes them to the Warsaw concert hall to perform Mozart's Sinfonia Concertante in E Flat Major with the Polish National chamber orchestra.
The film begins with a collage of sounds and abstract images from the municipal swimming pool of Poznan which was, in fact, originally built as a synagogue in 1907. Then the introduction to the protagonists' Levitan, the violist and Shiloah, the violinist' as they take on the appearance of apparitions, shot in detail, through the reflection of the windows of the train as it travels over a desolate landscape which quickly becomes the canvas for another journey to take place - a journey of ideas, memories and music.

Loss.y
Director: Lisa Jamhoury
Year: 2026
Situated at the physical-virtual threshold, loss·y memorializes corporeal passing and digital rebirth. The work intertwines animated sculptural “dances” with interactive spatial audio, inviting audiences to navigate invisible thresholds as they move. loss·y presents three split-seconds of a motion-captured female-female pas de deux: each moment is suspended in a vignette that overlaps projection and 3D prints encapsulating the dance in sculpture, with spoken-word poetry and spatial sound design. The installation’s audioscapes blend cold technical facts, accounts of digital dysmorphia and surveillance, and computer-generated sampling, creating an elegy to the vital body that is at once human and digital. On its surface a critique of today’s techno-society, loss·y collusively takes up digital reduction and surveillance as creative media, revealing reverence for the uncanny wonder that pulls us forward into our new, hybridized world.

GAWD v. The People
Director: Yamil Rodriguez, Ivan Alejandro Diaz Cardenas, Stephen Henderson
Year: 2026
In GAWD V. THE PEOPLE, the audience is part of the court, it’s an AI-led tribunal where humanity is on trial for the right to remain on Earth. Volunteer audience members become witnesses aided by agentic legal aids as we defend our continued existence against Nonhumans testifying against human impact. Surrounding projection environments and evolving courtroom visuals transform the space to reflect the trial as evidence accumulates. Presided over by a darkly humorous Judge, GAWD, each performance culminates with an improvised verdict on humanity's survival and what the conditional terms will be.
