Movies like Carbon-14 (2026)

Since the 1950s nuclear weapon tests, every inhabitant of the planet carries a portion of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 within them. This is just one of many testimonies of how military processes leave their mark everywhere, not just where they can be seen by satellites. In this film, war is viewed not merely as a state of armed conflict, but rather as a broad set of actions, symbols, and phenomena whose impact extends across time and space, affecting even the most mundane parts of our lives. The film is the author's attempt to reflect on various forms of violence and the impacts of the soft power of imperialism through an associative journey across memories and modern-day Riga.
