If you want to get even more experimental, I can also recommend Viera Čakányová’s NOTES FROM EREMOCENE (Poznámky z Eremocénu), which is part of the Forum lineup. Like a lot of Forum films, it eschews narrative conventions to try and get at something deeper in regards to the human experience. But unlike other films, it shows a remarkable control of digital editing techniques to place us in the future and then put us in the shoes of some disembodied lifeforce who is curious about what happened on Earth in the 21st century. It’s a fascinating head-trip of a film that touches on artificial intelligence, language, activism, and ecological collapse, among other subjects, and fans of Nick Cave will likely be moved by the film’s soundtrack choices. Again, this is another one of those films that will benefit from being seen on the big screen of Berlinale.
