Looduse kroon oli inimkonnalt võetud ja ta ei saanud seda kunagi enam tagasi. Tehnoloogiline singulaarsus, mida oli kardetud  ja oodatud, kihutas inimkonna suunas mitte selleks, et see endaga kaasa tõmmata, et seda täiustada, vaid selleks, et see endasse neelata, hääletult ja vääramatult. Niko mõitsis korraga, et selles maailmas, kuu tema elas, poleks Skynet olnud midagi hirmsat, sest terve inimkond näiski ootavat tuumarünnakut, mida kunagi ei tulnud.

- Andris Feldmanis “Viimased tuhat aastat”

[trans.

The crown of nature was taken from mankind and they could never take it back. The technological singularity, feared and awaited, raced towards humanity, not to take it with or to perfect it, but to swallow it, soundlessly and irrefutably. Niko understood suddenly, that in the world that he lived in, Skynet would be nothing scary, because all of humanity seemed to be waiting for a nuclear explosion that never came.

THE NOMINEES ARE:

Passing

Screenplay by Rebecca Hall, adapted from Nella Larsen’s novel

CLARE

You see, I haven’t any proper morals or sense of duty like you.

IRENE

You’re talking nonsense.

CLARE

But it’s true, ‘Rene. Don’t you realize I’m not like you a bit? Why, to get the things I want badly enough - I’d do anything...hurt anybody. Throw anything away. Anything.

(beat)

I’m not safe.

The Power of the Dog

Screenplay by Jane Campion, adapted from Thomas Savage’s novel

PETER

Phil- I’ve got rawhide to finish the rope.

PHIL

You’ve got it?? What are *you* doing with rawhide?

PETER

I cut some up. I wanted to be like you. Please take what I’ve got.

PHIL

Well...that’s damn kind of you, Pete. Tell you something, everything’s gonna be plain sailing for you from now on in. And you know what? I’m gonna work, finish up that rope tonight. You’ll watch me do it?

Quo Vadis, Aida?

Screenplay by Jasmila Žbanić, inspired by the book Under the UN Flag by Hasan Nuhanovic

MAYOR

Always the same. You keep telling us this, but nothing ever happens. You said this 3 days ago when the Serbian army entered the safe zone. You said it again 2 days ago when they besieged the town. You said they wouldn’t come a centimeter closer, and yet their tanks are getting closer and closer by the hour. Why is Srebrenica a UN safe zone if the Serbs can go on as they please? You keep telling us we are safe, but they are shelling the city. Their soldiers are in every village surrounding the town.

KARREMANS

As I said, they have been issued an ultimatum. And this has very serious consequences if they fail to act. Between 40-70 aircrafts are on standby and ready to launch an attack on all positions held by the Republika Srpska Army. They will be wiped out.

MAYOR

Should people be moved to the shelters?

KARREMANS

They are safe. They can stay in their homes.

MAYOR

What will happen if the planes don’t come?

KARREMANS

They will come. They will come. They have been issued a United Nations ultimatum. If they fail to comply, they will be attacked at 6am sharp.

MAYOR

You will be accountable if the Serbs enter the town. (beat) Tell him! Translate!

KARREMANS

I’m just a piano player.

Zola

Screenplay by Janicza Bravo & Jeremy O. Harris, based on tweets by A’Ziah King and the article “Zola Tells All: The Real Story Behind the Greatest Stripper Saga Ever Tweeted“ by David Kushner

HOLLYWOOD

Dear heavenly father, we come to thank you today for all the bounties that you have bestowed upon us, Jesus! Now, heavenly father, we are asking you a special prayer today. Special prayer! Special prayer! Lord, we asking you to send us n----s! Send us n----s, lord. None of them fart-ass n----s! Father, send us n----s with culture! Send us n----s with good credit! 840! 840! Oh, Jesus, you know if he got good credit, lord, I know you’re sending him with a big dick. Don’t send us no no-dick n----s, send him with a big dick, Jesus! Father, we are asking you humbly today to send us these things. Send us these things! *speaks in tongues*

AND THE CRISTAL GOES TO...

Drive My Car

Screenplay by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi & Takamasa Oe, adapted from Haruki Murakami’s short story

MISAKI

My mother had a separate personality named Sachi. She first appeared when I was 14. She said she was 8 years old, but she never aged in 4 years. Sachi would often appear after my mother beat me up terribly. It was like her awareness didn't match the body of an adult, so she couldn't move well. She'd try to walk but fall over, and would end up just sitting still. Sachi liked puzzle rings. We did crosswords together. Sachi cried a lot for no reason. Whenever she did, I'd hold her and rub her back over and over. I liked those times.

The last beautiful thing in my mother was condensed in Sachi. Sachi was my only friend. I don't know if my mother was mentally ill, or if she was acting to keep me close to her. But even if she were acting, it was from the bottom of her heart. Becoming Sachi was my mother's way of surviving in a hellish reality, I think. When that landslide occurred, I knew that my mother's death meant that Sachi would die, too. Even so...I didn't move.

She tucked herself away, placed a lock over her heart and buried the key, yet that did nothing to heal the damage done by his brutal betrayal. “Betrayal” #aracelimream #amream #poem #poetry #amreampoetry #amreamquotes #quote #quotes #worldwidepoetry #writersph #photography 📷: Andris Feldmanis
