This short film is included in the following package(s): SHORTS: WRECKING BALL
A golfer fails to strike, a soccer team plays against itself and a rally co-driver experiences an identity crisis – all while an audience looks on, unable to intervene. Shot within sports video games, WORLD AT STAKE inverts the usual logic of victory and defeat, exploring the tension between individual agency and collective passivity. In the shadow of catastrophe, a pervasive sense of political powerlessness lingers. Nothing less than the world is at stake.
