This is quite the set of Afrofuturist and sci-fi shorts! (I'm sure I've missed some.)
Between this, and the feature-length offerings (Space Is the Place, The Brother From Another Planet, The Last Angel of History, Crumbs, the two Adirley Queiros films) I'm surprised they didn't curate them as an actual collection. Maybe that's coming later?

EXLCUSIVE STREAMING PREMIERE
Park LanesDirected by Kevin Jerome Everson • 2015 • United States
Kevin Jerome Everson’s monument of durational cinema immerses viewers in the inner workings of a factory that produces bowling-alley equipment—a full eight-hour workday experienced in real time. Entrancing, meditative, and totally enveloping, PARK LANES unfolds according to the rhythms and rituals of the workers whose shifts it patiently documents, their quotidian tasks taking on a profound significance.
Is this a joke?

Oh hell yes I have been wanting to watch that

I’m going to need some Adderall to screen that.

it sounds like a twitter joke about slow cinema that went too far and accidentally got made

"come be entranced by the enveloping experience of being a Poor for a day. after a while, it really feels like you're really someone who doesn't have the leisure time to watch an 8-hour film!"

alternately, you could just get a job at a bowling alley for a day and get paid enough for lunch, a cab ride home and part of a criterion membership

yeah i'm pro slow cinema (hate the term "durational" cinema), saw a bread factory in theater, satantango, look forward to every wiseman doc, etc. but idk presenting this as A Film seems like the true nadir of the concept imho
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 15 February 2021 18:43 (three years ago) link
(tbf i guess im also cranky bc i miss really going bowling)
I believe it’s mostly been exhibited as a gallery piece yeah. it was cited in The Process Genre, which I read last year, so I had noodled around looking for a way to watch it previously.
