EMPTY RIDER | 2025 | Switzerland/UK | Lawrence Lek | 15 minutes
Lawrence LEK (1982, Frankfurt) is a London-based Malaysian Chinese artist and filmmaker known for advancing the concept of Sinofuturism with immersive installations that explore existential dilemmas through the lens of science fiction. In EMPTY RIDER sentient self-driving car Vanguard-3181 stands trial for attempting to murder their parent company’s CEO.
FOR ALL MANKIND | 1989 | USA | Al Reinert | 80 minutes
Simply the most radical, dazzling work of cinema made about the earthshaking first landing on the moon in July 1969. Narrated in the drawling Texas accents of the early astronauts and covered in a blanket of sonic vibrations by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois the film features original NASA footage.
