Overview

Slow Shift is set in Hampi, India in the remains of a 14th century city that is also a World Heritage site. The film interrogates intersections between ancient and geological timescales, the real and mythic, the lived and preserved, and human and animal.

Review

This film presents a barren landscape where only stones and rocks can be seen. The rocks seem to move in strange ways, and around them are monkeys—the animals that inhabit this beautiful yet unidentifiable location. Is this moment the present, the future, or the past? Director Shambhavi Kaul, who hails from India, has created a curious and alluring film that exists somewhere between ethnographic documentary and fiction. (Sung MOON)
