The Long Goodbye

  • slideshow_large

Synopsis

A sobering and powerful imagining of a dystopian near-future.
"In collaboration with actor-musician-activist Riz Ahmed, this work transcends the genre confines of a music video to create an incisive conceptual accompaniment to the title track from Ahmed’s personal album of the same name. Set in a speculative future of a risen right-wing and rampant post-Brexit racism, Riz unpacks his feelings towards his country in a powerful, gut-punch monologue of rap and spoken word." (London Short Film Festival)
