Bellum - The Daemon of War

David Herdies, Georg Götmark, Sweden, 2021

87 min.Documentary

A bored military contractor in Nevada pining for his return, an American war photographer in Afghanistan attempting to capture the horrors, and a Swedish engineer developing A.I. for the defense industry. Three disparate individuals in three disparate locations provide the unlikely focus of Bellum – The Daemon of War, a documentary triptych on the abstraction of conflict in an increasingly technocratic world.
