Eternity

A new vision of the apocalypse with an eclectic cast featuring Florentina Holzinger and the musician Peaches, ETERNITY is a new film by writer and director Susanne Regina Meures about women, muscle cars and global collapse. As the globe unravels, a group of friends reunite for one final summer. Escaping a world shaped by war and a collapsing climate, they hit the road in search of something real, finding fleeting moments of hedonistic freedom under the burning sun. But as they try to escape reality, the past catches up with them. Set against the backdrop of a melting glacier, ETERNITY platforms Holzinger’s performance art to illustrate the defining question of our time: how did we end up on a dying planet?

Content Warnings: This film contains nudity, explicit depictions of sexual and self-injurous acts, needle play and strobe lights.

Susanne Regina Meures is a German Swiss writer and director whose previous films – including Raving Iran, Saudi Runaway and Girl Gang – have used intimate and personal storytelling to explore the collision between politics, art and popular culture. Her films have premiered at Sundance Film Festival and Berlinale, have been shown at over 200 film festivals worldwide, have won numerous prizes, including a European Film Award and have been acquired by Disney and Netflix.

Florentina Holzinger is an Austrian performance artist and choreographer whose practice combines extreme physicality with theatrical precision to probe the limits of corporeal agency. Working across dance, performance, opera and theatre while critically engaging with their histories, Holzinger blends legitimised “high” culture with pop and countercultural currents to unsettle the lines between spectacle and subversion.
