Cold Cakes / 冰冷的蛋糕 / コールド・ケーキ(2026)

Cold Cakes / 冰冷的蛋糕 / コールド・ケーキ Synopsis

Built within the 3D worlds of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Condemned 2: Bloodshot, Call of Duty: Black Ops II, Saw II: Flesh & Blood, and Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Pastinaca Videotapes Plantation’s machinima exploit each engine’s abrupt, uncanny atmosphere, creating bizarre collages that challenge any single interpretative move. Cold Cakes / 冰冷的蛋糕 / コールド・ケーキ is no exception and adopts the look of damaged evidence. Burnt-in timestamps, murky contrast, smeared textures, and VHS-like degradation give the film the texture of a copied, handled, and partially lost recording. Moving between domestic interiors, found footage, flickering images, bodily aftermath, cryptic imagery and open-world urban drift, the film assembles fragments rather than a linear narrative. Working through a text-first method that pairs written themes with archival and game footage, PVP reflects on suppressed histories, hoaxes, mockumentaries, and the erasure of inconvenient events.

Cold Cakes / 冰冷的蛋糕 / コールド・ケーキ (2026) is a film directed by Pastinaca Videotapes Plantation, released on March 18, 2026 with a runtime of 12m.
