Content warning: This film explores themes of dissociation, isolation and overwhelming anxiety.
The film runs 5m:20s. It wasn’t made to entertain but to immerse. A raw document of London experience. No words, just grey repetition, suffocating noise and isolation that gnaws away. It’s the city through the eyes of an everyday Londoner trapped in the race, pulled closer to the edge with every step.
