Niece of Senegalese auteur Djibril Diop Mambéty (Touki Bouki), Mati Diop wowed audiences with the genre-bending Atlantics, becoming the first Black female director to win at Cannes. This, the atmospheric, visionary debut short that inspired it, is rich with suppressed histories and emotions.

Directed by the great Cahiers du Cinema critic and unsung member of the French New Wave, Luc Moullet, Less and Less in just under 14 minutes joyfully deconstructs the role machines play in the world today.
