Till Rückwart

Info
Location: Gather Town

"dude, where is my data" is a fictional desktop shortfilm about a young mans journey into his computer in search of his missing data. Instead of finding what is lost a psychedelic trip unfolds in which metaphors pull him deeper into machine desires, while the cinematic means move in the opposite direction out of the computer.
