Composed entirely of hundreds of film samples, Hello Dankness is a political fable that bears witness to the psychotropic spectacle of American politics from 2016 to 2021. Taking form as a suburban stoner musical, the film follows a neighborhood through these years as consensus reality disintegrates into conspiracy and other contagions. What unfolds is a rogue retelling of history in which hotdogs debate the culture wars, trash cans preach QAnon, zombies rally for revolution, and real events are refashioned as Broadway bangers from Cats, Les Miserables, Annie, and The Phantom of the Opera.
Soda Jerk is an artist duo who makes sample-based films with a rogue documentary impulse. They are fundamentally interested in the politics of images. Formed in Sydney in 2002, they’ve been based in New York since 2012. Their new feature Hello Dankness (2022) follows their controversial political revenge fable Terror Nullius (2018).
