A true breakthrough and international discovery!! Here in-person with A Human Year Is Seven Earth Years, Honduran-American Adrian Quetzal Randall has cooked up an unprecedented Meso-American mystery play, an extremely sophisticated personal cine-essay that opens up areas of speculative history in an Adam Curtis-esque stream-of-consciousness revelation on the military origins of Central American telecommunications
and programming, tracing a psychedelic labyrinth across four
continents. Part media archeology, part film diary, an endless montage
of archival opticals support a long-form whispered confession about the
electromagnetic magick that inflected the development of "modern" Honduran national sensibility. Our co-hit is Riar Rizaldi's equally paranoid Tellurian Drama, a sublime 25-min excavation of the colonial mythos surrounding the infamous Malabar Radio Antenna, a mysterious site of etheric conspiracy now being resurrected as a tourist destination on the Indonesian island of Java.
