Synopsis

‘Dark tourism' has been defined as travel to places historically associated with death or tragedy. In Belfast, Northern Ireland, this industry is booming. Over 3600 people died during The Troubles (1968-1998), the colloquial name given to the 30 year period of violence and political dispute between Unionists who wanted Northern Ireland to remain part of the United Kingdom and Nationalists who wanted to join the Republic of Ireland. A new phenomena of tourists now travel to the working class streets of the city where the majority of the conflict took place with long-term residents beginning to feel like they’re part of the attraction.

The End of Times

Director: Luca Anzalone

Year: 2026

Caught between her indigenous Buryat roots—where art is a shamanic window between worlds—and a Western market that treats culture as a commodity, artist Yuma Radne constructs a monumental canvas to confront the psychological distortions of colonization at the edge of an irreversible era. "Either you make art, or you suffer. It’s like a curse." For painter Yuma Radne, the act of creation is not an aesthetic choice, but an ancestral code carried in the blood. Moving from a remote Siberian village to the high-stakes European art world, Yuma finds herself navigating a surreal landscape where sacred cultural identity is rapidly converted into a luxury product. Through intimate studio dialogues and raw philosophical reflections, the film captures the gruelling physical and mental labour behind her graduation masterpiece, The End of Times. Centred around a gargantuan erupting booze (a traditional Buryat dumpling) mutated into an absurd, monumental symbol of a colonised and erased national identity, the film transcends a typical artist portrait. It becomes a vital, cosmic meditation on why humanity continues to create art in the face of systemic collapse—and a powerful testament to an indigenous culture refusing to be reduced to a souvenir.
