Do Not Go Hungry Into That Good Night2026

What makes a world livable? That isn't the right question. "Do Not Go Hungry Into That Good Night” tries to capture the exhaustion of a life filled with monotonous labour, where nothing is left to be experienced, but only extracted. The protagonist is tasked to find a perfect world to inhabit, but once she encounters a world that seemingly ticks all the boxes, she is unable to deal with the answers it brings forth. Once face-to-face with a world that is ‘never-ending’, she has to stop her quest and learn to sit in the silence of her own presence, trying to grapple with the difference between this perfect world and the broken world where she comes from.

The film explores the theme of hunger in its relationship with the obligation of labour. Hunger manufactures the consent necessary to uphold the system that keeps people hungry. The protagonist, faced with a reality where hunger does not exist, is left to question her obligation to continue with the monotonous labour of her life, and has to confront the violent manifestation of its absence.
