Kaizo

Kaizo

64th TIFF: World Premiere

Kaizo unfolds the story of two children as they wander through an empty town, in a bizarre game of exploration. They venture forth in an attempt to discover something, seeking to understand what exactly happened, or perhaps just to escape from it all. Kaizo is an endless tale of love in a desolate world, a narrative game with no true conclusion, and a journey through an ageless era. It resembles a video game or a post-apocalyptic tale, which unfolds in variations, chapters, or levels. It commences and concludes endlessly. The beginning is the end, and each ending marks a new beginning.

Kaizo is a moving-image work comprising six AI-generated variations with a total runtime of 40 minutes, screened in a loop with free admission for the public.
