The Human Surge 3

Eduardo Williams / Argentina, Portugal, Netherlands, Taiwan, Brazil, Hong Kong, Sri Lanka & Peru / 2023 / 121 min

A cinematic trip across time and space, shot with a 360-degree camera in an inventive gesture unlike any other in contemporary cinema. Eduardo Willams breaks every conceivable rule of what the cinema experience can be.

Where is the most advanced cinema going today? Maybe it is heading in the same direction as Eduardo ‘Teddy’ Williams, but it will probably be at least a couple of hundred years before the rest of the film world catches up with the Argentinian alchemist. In any case, we dare to promise that you’ve never experienced anything like ‘The Human Surge 3’, which is a kind of distant relative of the first ‘The Human Surge’ (CPH:DOX 2017) – and no, there is no second film in the series, and you don’t need to have seen the first to be carried away by the trippy flow of images in Williams’ latest creation, which is filmed with a 360-degree camera of the type that is usually only used for virtual reality. The film accompanies three different groups of friends in Taiwan, Sri Lanka and Peru, who, despite the geographical distance between them, inhabit the same world in crisis, and who eventually come together in a virtual community across time and space.
