Serve

Generation Z has swiped away the old illusion-based structure of society and moves through a city whose surfaces simultaneously reflect desire, labour and visibility. »To serve« becomes an invitation to perform and to consider the cost of becoming visible. In the social choreographies of the film, femme bodies perform a Delulu script, glowing through the urban canyons of New York that reveals itself as a bygone hypercapitalist fiction. Yet they still invent their own grammar of desire.

Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life

Jakob arrives at the Institute Benjamenta (run by brother and sister Johannes and Lisa Benjamenta) to learn to become a servant. With seven other men, he studies under Lisa: absurd lessons of movement, drawing circles, and servility. He asks for a better room. No other students arrive and none leave for employment. Johannes is unhappy, imperious, and detached from the school's operation. Lisa is beautiful, at first tightly controlled, then on the verge of breakdown. There's a whiff of incest. Jakob is drawn to Lisa, and perhaps she to him. As winter sets in, she becomes catatonic. Things get worse; Johannes notes that all this has happened since Jakob came. Is there any cause and effect?
