sunday, july 31, 9 pm: 现实是过去的未来 (DISORDER)

[pirate cinema berlin]

A mosaic of found footage miniatures from Guangzhou, China: A man is lying in 
front of a car, bargaining with the driver who he claims has hit him, someone 
picks a cockroach from a bowl of noodles, police raid a shop that is selling 
bear paws, a shirless man is threatening to jump from a bridge while another 
shirtless man is dancing on a busy road. Dozens of pigs have escaped from a 
truck and are roaming the highway, people are sitting on top of their car in a 
flooded street, others are trying to catch fish, a building is burning in the 
distance. Pedestrians find an abandoned baby in a pile of trash, a man is 
parading a crocodile, police are towing trucks with fake license plates and a 
routine arrest turns into a slow motion mass brawl. Some of these scenes are 
unexpectedly funny, half of them may appear shocking, yet most of them remain 
profoundly absurd, and if you are looking for a plausible panorama of an Asian 
metropolis in the era of globalization, there is no need to look any further.
