An experimental essay film about terrorism, media, violence and globalisation. Three infotainment news broadcasts - a rollercoaster, a hijacking, and an influencer - are soundtracked by pulsating experimental electronics that push the psychic residue of a post war-on-terror world out of the unconscious and onto the screen. Capitalism, imperialism, desire; all three are implicated in a nihilism that has seeped from the news into the social psyche.

Jacqui's sister Leia comes home for a week to help her decide whether to sell their late mother's house. Leia thinks Jacqui should learn to communicate with the dead. 

Constructed from over five decades of films featuring Robert De Niro in New York City, 'De Niro, New York' (2024) moves through space and time with a dream logic; placing De Niro’s many on-screen personalities in direct conversation with each other. These moments of connection and interaction paint a portrait of an artist and his city evolving together over more than half a century. Originally screened at Tribeca Festival in 6 channel format on the Hexadome—a six-screen, 52-speaker spatial installation engineered by the Institute of Sound and Music in Berlin.

A plane takes off, bound for Paris (Charles De Gaulle). A pilot advises his co-pilot on the finer points of speed and altitude management. As the plane makes its approach, ghost transmissions invade the cockpit. The majesty of air travel is momentarily undone by a visit from a guilty conscience.
