Capital

In Das Kapital – Version 0.7, Marcello Mercado merges the logic of industrial production with digital computation, transforming Marx’s critique into an audiovisual algorithm. Command lines, programming syntax, and economic diagrams generate microbial and geometric architectures—vegetable loops and centrifugal forms that pulsate like living data. The film exposes the illusion of control within the technological age, where the viewer becomes both operator and captive of code. Juxtaposing synthetic imagery with the traces of real violence, Mercado reveals a capitalism that regenerates itself through chaos, automation, and abstraction. Visually rich and conceptually precise, Das Kapital – Version 0.7 expands across short and feature versions, tracing the transition from industrial matter to digital biology—a cinema where theory breathes, multiplies, and consumes itself.

    Marcello Mercado’s Das Kapital – Version 0.7 is a groundbreaking experiment at the intersection of cinema, theory, and computation. Combining the visual language of digital modeling with Marxist critique, the film transforms equations and economic diagrams into living structures—organic, radiant, and terrifying. Mercado’s editing rhythm is surgical yet feverish; information loops, CAD grids, and chromatic explosions converge into a sensory storm where abstraction and flesh collide. The film interrogates the seductive power of digital aesthetics while exposing the violence hidden within algorithmic control. Both a media-archaeological reflection and a philosophical experiment, Das Kapital – Version 0.7 expands into multiple versions—short and feature-length iterations that form part of an ongoing cinematic organism. Together, they trace the mutation of capital from industrial machinery to data-driven biology. In Mercado’s universe, the economy breathes, decays, and replicates like a living virus.

Elysium

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.
