Billionaires Gnaw Their Tongues from the Pain (2021)

Overview

Billionaires Gnaw Their Tongues from the Pain aka Lost Leaders #22 is a handmade short film created in collaboration with sound artist Jackie Gallant. Billionaires… combines 16mm and 35mm found footage, hand-woven elements and DIY frame-by-frame scanning using a Lego-modded lightbox. The film is “inspired” by the hideous spectacle of the richest men in the world pretending to be astronauts. It takes a fuck-ton of hubris to strut around like latter day space “pioneers” while the world burns.
