Asylum (2000) dir. Christopher Petit, Iain Sinclair

A mix of both documentary and fiction, where in the future a group of people are looking back at the twentieth century. A virus has wiped out most of the culture. Asylum is a film very much derived from chaos, expressing implicitly the ideas conjured up by its title. A strange mix of both documentary and fiction, where in the future a group of people are looking back at the twentieth century. A virus has wiped out most of the culture of the twentieth century, leaving just fragments of a project called ‘The Perimeter Fence’ to be pieced together. These fragments make up a documentary about an exiled group of disparate yet similar minds. Ulf Kjell Gür
