A DOLLAR STORY
Qiu Sheng
China / 10'00'' / In English with English subtitles
A single dollar bill, spanning a century, has been traded, robbed, given away, gambled on, worshipped, discarded, imagined, and finally returned to dust.
In the short film, this dollar bill traverses film history, from The Great Train Robbery to film noir, and all the way to the present day. Each segment represents a film genre, and also a form of desire. By exploring AI's potential as an infinite archive, this film attempts to conduct a psychoanalysis of humanity's dream of money.
