Combined screening of two films: Barking in the Dark and Nick Cave’s Veiled World.

Barking in the Dark, dir. Marie Losier, France, 2025 | 42 min.

Who are The Residents? For more than fifty years, they have remained one of music’s greatest enigmas—anonymous visionaries whose surreal performances, iconic eyeball masks, and fearless experimentation have reshaped the landscape of the American avant-garde. Entering their elusive universe, Marie Losier composes a vibrant cinematic collage where memory, performance, and imagination dissolve into one another. Rather than solving the mystery, her film embraces it, capturing the irreverent spirit, radical freedom, and enduring playfulness of artists who have always existed beyond convention. An intimate celebration of creative independence, this is a portrait of a collective that continues to reinvent itself while refusing to reveal its face.

Nick Cave’s Veiled World
Mike Christie | Wielka Brytania | 2026 | 65 min

Nick Cave has always been an artist who refuses to stand still. Nick Cave’s Veiled World looks beyond the public persona to explore the creative and personal transformation that has shaped his work over the past decade.

Blending archival footage with Cave’s own voice and reflections from friends, collaborators, and admirers—including Warren Ellis, members of The Bad Seeds, Flea, Florence Welch, Wim Wenders, and Rowan Williams—the film offers a warm, intimate portrait of an artist whose music continues to evolve alongside his life.

At its heart, the documentary is about grief, creativity, and finding new meaning after loss. It follows the period surrounding the creation of Ghosteen, showing how one of Cave’s most personal and emotionally powerful albums emerged from profound tragedy. More than a portrait of a musician, Nick Cave’s Veiled World is a thoughtful reflection on the power of art to transform pain into something deeply human.
