(14 min, Digital HD)
[ENG] In a distant future, a panel of archaeologists gathers to unveil their latest findings: a cache of ancient cryptic, pixelated video files unearthed from the digital wasteland. But decoding the meanings of these looping low-resolution mysteries turns out to be a daunting task. Part satire, part elegy, the film explores the fragility of culture in the age of information overload, where even the most viral moments are ultimately doomed to get lost in translation and become garbled data strings.
