Slow Cinema
The contemporary world is accelerating; battling with time and efficiency has become a daily routine for most. But the faster we go, the blurrier some things become, to the point of being unheard or unseen.

By immersing ourselves in this slow spirit through cinema, some things finally become clear, and then, they can be heard and seen.

This time, through a collection of films, we summon those who have always been there, yet have rarely been seen. “I summon you by this name. Reveal yourself.”
