Our take

Six of independent cinema’s master directors, including Chantal Akerman, Pedro Costa, and Apichatpong Weerasethakul, joined forces to create this radical omnibus probing their perspective on the world. Ranging from deeply personal to vigorously political, the films form a cohesive and powerful work.
