Amidst climate doom and existential fatigue, these films offer a collective surrender tinged with humour, melancholy, and the strange beauty of it all. 

Not an escape from collapse, but an invitation to inhabit the space between mourning and transformation – where the end no longer feels sudden, but ambient; and entropy becomes a kind of rhythm.

A golfer never swings. A city teems with rats and moths. A filmmaker wanders off set. The body transforms, the world dissolves, and yet – tenderness persists to live, laugh, love at the edge of it all.

With the latest work from some of our LSFF Alumni, Whammy Alcazaren (Bold Eagle) and Total Refusal (Hardly Working).
