The Demands of Ordinary Devotion

Director: Eva Giolo
What is an image—what is cinema? Through richly textured combinations of film-shot visuals and sound, this central question is brought to life. Guided by the words of Laozi, the film explores cinema as an art of “time,” while weaving together metaphors of “cycles,” “chains,” and “matter”—elements that humanity can never escape. The way these metaphors interconnect and flow like a string of prayer beads offers a compelling and thought-provoking experience not to be missed.
