Quantification Trilogy
56th New York Film Festival
September 28 - October 14, 2018
Shaw’s vérité-style trilogy imagines a dystopian—and increasingly familiar—social order in which marginalized societies strive against extinction.
Q&A with Jeremy Shaw on October 7
Under the guise of nonfiction, Shaw’s vérité-style trilogy imagines a dystopian—and increasingly familiar—social order in which marginalized societies strive against extinction. Through transcendental experiments and cathartic rituals, these future humans seek feelings of desire and faith that have been expunged from the species’ capacities. The medium-length Quickeners (2014), Liminals (2017), and his latest, I Can See Forever (2018), redefine the bounds of archival cinema, conveying sci-fi narratives through various retro-analogue formats and clinical voiceover narration.
Quickeners, Germany, 2014, 37m
Liminals, Germany, 2017, 31m
I Can See Forever, Germany, 2018, 43m
