Pacifiction - Albert Serra

The screening on 7 December will be introduced by director Albert Serra. 

On a paradisiacal island in French Polynesia, corroded by invisible tensions of power, a high commissioner drifts amid ambiguities. Everything slips, blends, and dissolves. Are French nuclear tests about to resume? Why is the navy suddenly present? In Pacifiction, Albert Serra captures the impotence of those who believe they are operating at the world’s center, yet are in fact already exiled from it. A hypnotic tale where reality seems tainted by dreams, or by the threat of a myth taking shape.
