There is no denying that we live in an age where more than ever we are actively pulled out of our real lives and into an alternate one, a digital life. We increasingly live lives where we barely interact with people in person for days yet have an active social life in the ever-increasing digital playground available to us through […]

We all have dreams. For some of us those dreams are to get a good education, a good job and live a comfortable life. For others, dreams take on a much different shape. For many of the subjects in Simon Ennis’ heartfelt documentary Lunarcy!, the dream is no less than the stars themselves; or more poignantly The Moon. Lunarcy! is […]
