Sunday
Sunday
The short film ‘Sunday’ imagines a future, or perhaps an alternative present, one that is warm and comfortable and hopeful. A world where everyone can walk the streets safely, wake up rested with someone they love, and where Couch to 5k isn’t the catch-all NHS prescription for depression. Taking its tone from relaxation/ASMR-style videos and jarring this with painful glimpses of harassment or sickness, it reads as both hard-hitting and personally therapeutic. The film’s visuals are bright, sun-drenched and calming, layering keyholes into a blissful day-off. This future seems dreamily possible.
