PASSIONLESS MOMENTS

"There are 1,000,000 moments in your neighborhood; each has a fragile presence which fades almost as it forms." This is a collection of ten everyday awkward and embarrassing moments, each with an uneasy familiarity. Funny and surreal, this won Best Experimental Film in the Australian Film Awards.
