If quarantine’s taught us anything good, it’s how to find moments of abstract bliss in the all-too-familiar everyday—so if ambient vibes have been your thing this year, you’ll know what this Showdown is all about. List your ten ASMR faves: those films—and scenes within films—that just slide under your eyelids, slope inside your ear canals and sweep you away on a braingasmic wave of aural texture and visual calm. Think open-ended narratives, incredibly close everyday sounds, enthrallingly long takes, repetitive tasks undertaken to completion, a landlady’s preparation of hot chocolate. Think sunflower fields, buzzing lightbulbs, the taste of cherry, neon signs, car radios. A dream-scape of just existing in space and time.
