Dir. Johann Lurf / 2014 / 10 mins / Austria / No Dialogue / Experimental / Australian Premiere

Something sinister lurks on the fringes of a seemingly empty business complex.

In the dead of night, a high-tech surveillance video hovers over an unassuming corporate block where everything is not quite what it seems. Perched in the liminal space between architecture and paranoia, Johann Lurf’s eerie, jaggedly synth-scored 2014 short peels back the camouflage of the arms industry, using their own security devices to expose them.
