The second edition of attic’s Chinese Short Film Program invites audiences to collectively explore the idea of “rest” through a curated selection of short films and a participatory activity.

Rehearsal for Rest responds to a familiar condition: the difficulty of slowing down. Even in moments of pause, our thoughts stay in motion. Rest often becomes another task, another performance. As the year winds down, this program offers a space to step back from that pace and consider, quietly, what rest might mean again.
