We Have Decided Not to Die
Three bodies, three places, three rituals and three stages of human life. A mystical film that mingles commercial spots and video for a rich visual blend that is at once art, ritual and fantasy. Eleven minutes that change time into energy, ignore gravity and abolish space.
