Symen and Sam try to pass their time in the monotony of a post-industrial suburb. They seem to linger in a kind of perpetual twilight that is answered by the invisible presence of ‘Hardcore’. While gaming and burning daylight, they end up searching for the core of their desires.

Operation Jane Walk is based on the dystopian multiplayer shooter Tom Clancy’s: The Division. The game’s digital war zone is appropriated with the help of an artistic operation: Within the rules of the game’s software, the militaristic environment is being re-used for a pacifistic city tour. The urban strollers avoid the combats whenever possible and become peaceful tourists of a digital world, which is a detailed replica of Midtown Manhattan. While walking through the post-apocalyptic city, issues such as architecture history, urbanism and the game developer’s interventions into the urban fabric are being discussed.

In the underground spaces of Toronto, a group of poets, rappers, singers and musicians negotiate their status as second-generation Torontonians as well as settlers living on borrowed Indigenous land. Operatic in nature, this experimental documentary looks at rhythm and poetry as forms of creative labour that constitute mixed-cultural dialogue: the call-and response, the recitative, and the cypher.
