Film Programme: Zorns Lemma

One of the great experimental films. A 60 minute, three part riddle that maybe approximates our intellectual development by moving from imageless words to the recognition of silent images and the learning of simple tasks and finally a serenity and acceptance of death.

Heat-mapped bodies, found porn films, Korean psyche-folk, creepy police intrusion and self-defence.
