Medical Field Guide or Rules of Engagement with Native E-Girls
Erotic geopolitics of the early twenty-first century: Through images distorted by visual point clouds, we dive into the mind of a drone pilot. On a peacekeeping mission in a deflowered landscape, he monitors strategic objects of desire while psyop e-girls from lithium holes tempt him into an unauthorized descent into their huts. However, a preventive operation triggers new ailments, and so the inner healer must activate. Much of the film was shot using a depth camera. It is based on Tomáš Čada’s poem Three Economic Units.
