How to Shoot a Ghost

Directed by Charlie Kaufman • 2025 • United States, Greece
Starring Jessie Buckley, Josef Akiki

Part ghost story, part city symphony, this elegiac short directed by Charlie Kaufman traces the meeting of two recently deceased young people—a troubled photographer (Jessie Buckley) and a gay translator (Josef Akiki)—whose restless souls wander the streets of Athens, Greece, where they confront both the remnants of the city’s history and the wreckage of their own unresolved lives. Folding complex ideas around mortality, memory, and migration into exquisite, ethereal images, Kaufman arrives at a breathtakingly moving vision of two outsiders searching for connection and consolation beyond the bounds of life.

This was spotted by our friend u/pavingmomentum, and other Redditors have noticed "it's basically unavailable if you're outside the US," but "you can subscribe with a VPN. once you subscribe, there's no need for a vpn anymore. The only foreign thing needed was an address."

WOOHOO.
