Jen enlists the help of young medium Keng who uses her psychic powers to help loved ones communicate with the comatose men. Magic, healing, romance and dreams are all part of Jen’s tender path to a deeper awareness of herself and the world around her. Directed by Apichatapong Weerasethakul (Memoria, Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives).

Presenter: REECE CAHILL

Reece Cahill is an artist based in Boorloo on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja. His practice usually swims within pools of slowness, desire and allure, ghosts, and how these all relate to the capitalist world we live in. Often site responsive, but interested in mixing the real with the unseen, usually these ideas emerge into short fragments of looped video, poetic writings, and photographs, which accumulate to suggest more than the sum of their parts.
