Acropolis is proud to welcome Argentine director Eduardo Williams, recipient of this year's Best Experimental Film prize from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, for a program of his visionary short films following our recent screening of *The Human Surge 3* (2023). Prior to accepting the award, Williams will be in person for a presentation of four shorts from across his career that anticipate the themes and cutting edge techniques of his groundbreaking features.

Program:

- *Could See a Puma* (Dir. Eduardo Williams, 2011, 17 min)

An accident leads a group of young boys from the high roofs of their neighborhood, passing through a destroyed landscape, to the deepest depths of the earth.

- *That I'm Falling?* (Dir. Eduardo Williams, 2013, 15 min)

Searching for a seed, a young man emerges from the underground where he hangs out with his friends. They all embark on a long digestive trip.

- *I Forgot!* (Dir. Eduardo Williams, 2014, 28 min)

A group of Vietnamese teenagers stave off boredom by leaping from rooftop to rooftop, window to window, one building to the next. Wild and immersive, the film offers a vision as spellbinding as it is terrifying, juxtaposing all-too-familiar everydayness with the sublime beauty of reckless acts.

- *Parsi* (Dir. Eduardo Williams, 2019, 23 min)

Innovatively shot on a 360-degree camera by young people from Guinea-Bissau’s queer and trans community, this breathlessly immersive work sets a perpetually expanding poem by Mariano Blatt to a kinetic vision of their world.

This is an all ages event
