Together we will watch films and moving image works that examine different aspects of the affective and extractive behaviours inherent in our digital interactions to reflect on the 'real' costs of these choices.

Original Japanese version with English subtitles. Comedy, 2023, 126 min., dir. Masayuki Suzuki. By the screenwriter behind the Academy Award-winning film "Departures" and boasting a large all-star cast, this feel-good comedy is a love letter to Japan's bathhouses, featuring themes such as nostalgia, tradition, and inescapably changing times. Its set, a carefully crafted reconstruction of a Showa-era building, is one of the storytellers through its every detail imbued with history.
