Current events

Unspeakable things occur daily in the world, but for most of us, they are like electronic interference on the screens of our personal lives. How are we to respond to the ceaseless stream of media images and direct mail solicitations? How should we bridge the gap between concern and action, between What Is and What Ought to be? These questions are at the heart of Ralph Arlyck’s latest film, “Current events”, an examination of life in a cocoon of relative comfort.
