COMMODITY TRADING: DIES IRAE
M. Woods, 2022, 87 min.

COMMODITY TRADING: DIES IRAE is a surrealist nightmare wrapped in a documentary chronicling the void in time between 2015 and 2020. The movie weaves a narrative through a labyrinthine hyperreality, using 16mm film, mixed media digital experimentation, and archival footage to depict Los Ángeles as a hallucinatory zone of pure nothingness.

Preceded by: 

GUILLOTINE
Sonnie Wooden, 22 min.

GUILLOTINE is an intricate mosaic of American culture, exploring fear, paranoia, anticipatory grief, and expectations of Black lives. The film evokes the disjointedness of scrolling on social media—and that consistent inundation of chaotic, uncontrollable violence and beauty.

Post-screening discussion with filmmaker M. Woods and Sonnie Wooden!
