Beyond the Screen: A Night of Animation by unspun Studio and SOOOP

Program Highlights

6:00 PM – 10:00 PM: Interactive Installation

• in+corporeal (Shana Aminova, Hong Kong)An interactive projection that explores human existence in the digital landscape. Audiences alter the work through movement, redefining physical interaction.

7:00 PM: Short Film Screenings

• Divisional Articulations (Max Hattler, Hong Kong)A collision of fuzzy analog synths (by composer Lux Prima) and geometric digital animation create a hypnotic audiovisual feedback loop.
• ZOON (Jonatan Schwenk, Germany)A Sundance-premiered film featuring a nocturnal swamp, where gleaming axolotls pursue primal games. Screened at 150+ festivals globally.
• [O] (Mario Radev & Chiara Sgatti, UK/Switzerland)A Sundance 2018-nominated meditation on the cycles of nature, featuring a world entirely based on sound frequency and vibration.
• Salvage (Dirk Koy, Switzerland)Fragmented memories dissolve into digital abstraction, questioning the permanence of imagery.

8:00 PM: Feature Film Screening

• Nothing Really Happened (Mufasa Yu, Hong Kong)Following its buzzy debut at The Box Freespace, this surreal exploration of time blends textured visuals and hypnotic soundscapes. The original score by Clave fuses ambient, post-rock, and trip-hop, immersing viewers in a world where everything and nothing coexist.

9:00 PM: Panel Discussion

• Following the screenings, guests are invited to join the directors in a short panel discussion about technology and art: where the lines blur, where the seams come loose to abstraction. What as-yet unseen technologies can be imagined by art, as in [O]; and on the contrary, how the possibilities and limitations of current tech shape the boundaries of our imagination.

Partnerships with Purpose

• Burmese Apron - A curated Burmese menu (vegetarian/non-vegetarian/ gluten-free) with 25% of proceeds supporting Better Burma’s earthquake relief efforts.
