Short Synopsis: |
A comment on increasingly short attention spans, captured on location in the Congo, AUGURE: Infinite Trolling toys with the infinite scroll that fuels social media – and this erratic stream of content as a path to desensitization. Oscillating between narratives, the film moves through a series of disjointed yet intertwined vignettes, finding a disquieting sense of the surreal in the art of assemblage. Becoming a celebration of the extended listening experience, each sequence accompanies a different track from AUGURE’s ambitious four-album soundtrack – written from the perspectives of its four characters, and released via Polydor (Universal Music Group). |
