    On Falling [on circuit]

    Meditative and oneiric, On Falling is a re-exploration of the myth of Sisyphus that follows Z perpetually falling through a dark void. As we follow their fall, we float, drift in and out of dreamlike thoughts, meeting a child that incubates dreams, the moon, and a witness to death and rebirth.

    The film continues building on Luxem's universe that explores dream-like states, altered realities and cycles of life, death and rebirth. Through their work they seek to re-imagine ways of being queer in the world. On Falling is a quest for mastering the loss of control, a search for lucidity and letting go in order to survive violence and pain.
