Enlightenment will cost you much more than your sanity.
A group of friends find their lives upended when they cross paths with ‘Dr. Mindfulness’, a charismatic, enigmatic figure with a cutting-edge mindfulness device which promises to unlock one's true potential. As the device rewires their perceptions, the group soon realises that the present moment can be a terrifying place.
Miguel Llansó’s Infinite Summer cleverly critiques our modern obsession with quick fixes and spiritual shortcuts, showcasing a near-future world of consumer tech gone awry. The film blends elements of coming-of-age with a satirical take on mindfulness culture, leading us through a bizarre, mind-bending journey of self-discovery. Infinite Summer is a smart film that perfectly blends sci-fi, horror and a pinch of comedy. The film is part of our Interfaces of Reality theme programme, which explores the different ways humanity is and will be able to interact with technology.
Director Miguel Llansó will be present for a Q&A on 25 October.
