An experimental essay film about terrorism, media, violence and globalisation. Three infotainment news broadcasts - a rollercoaster, a hijacking, and an influencer - are soundtracked by pulsating experimental electronics that push the psychic residue of a post war-on-terror world out of the unconscious and onto the screen. Capitalism, imperialism, desire; all three are implicated in a nihilism that has seeped from the news into the social psyche.

Peeking behind the curtain: This is how the Grannies describe what they’re up to. Behind the jokey name is a small group of creatives who play the computer game Red Dead Online together—though they’re not actually “playing the game” as intended. Rather than completing the missions set in late 19th-century America, they set out like true pioneers towards the periphery of its playable world—and beyond.
