倘若时间点由五百年后向前回溯，当所有经典电影已不覆记忆，存留的必将是这部探索地球及人类神秘历程，由“电台司令”合唱团的约翰尼·格林伍德担任配乐的音乐史诗纪录片。导演天才地以各类既有影像拼贴生命的渺小与伟大。全片由世界各地搜罗而来的真实影像交织而成，由生与死、爱与性、梦与暴力，从家庭录影带、显微技术下的人体摄影到浩瀚宇宙奇景，画面最后又回到授精过程的显微影像。是一部由人类亡灵共同低语着的神秘学……

"There's a better life waiting for us. Who? Somebody else... Where? Somewhere else..." Brand New-U is a highly unconventional romantic thriller: an obsessive love story stripped down and re-arranged into the looping logic of a nightmare. It tells the story of a man - SLATER - who pursues the woman he loves - NADIA - through a series of parallel lives

In 1903 Daniel Paul Schreber published Memoirs of My Nervous Illness, one of the most remarkable studies of madness 'from the inside' ever written. Schreber was a successful lawyer, already well into middle age when he started to receive messages from God, via a 'Writing Down Machine'. He spent the next nine years confined to an institution suffering delusions of cosmic control, and believing that the only way to save the world was for him to submit to God's plan to change him into a woman. Conceived as part of a transmedia project by Simon Pummell (Bodysong), Shock Head Soul uses documentary, drama and animation to piece together Schreber's story, combining beautiful images and formal precision with fascinating insights from psychiatrists, analysts and social commentators past and present. Shreber's case and his struggle to free himself from institutional care make for compelling viewing, revealing a fascinating mix of family secrets, psychotic visions, and questions of religious freedom and technological advancement that are still relevant today.
