A lone passenger is reflected in the windows of a train crawling through layers of textures towards Minsk. During his absence, the city has not changed: all the streets are frozen, long-gone voices can be heard in the empty rooms and around the corner you can find yourself in a video game from your childhood.
Allen Golder-Carpenter, still from Sojourn, 2025, 30 min. Courtesy of the Artist.

Inspired by the film Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance, Sojourn weaves together a meditation on memory, transformation, and the instability of historical perspective. The film presents an unresolved attempt to hold onto what history often pushes aside—especially the lives, voices, and losses of Black communities whose stories are too often overwritten.
Total program time: 84 min
