Short film programming Documentary Futurism by Cinema Politica
- Duration : 180 minutes
- Language : multiple, English subtitles
- Free entrance (get ticket from La Maison du Cinéma)
Cinema Politica’s Documentary Futurism project seeks to usher in a new kind of filmmaking that brings actuality into conversation with speculation, and realism with the imaginary. Taking inspiration from Afro-futurism, Indigenous futurism, speculative fiction and non-fiction, the 15 films presented at La Maison du Cinéma inaugurate a new genre while deploying filmmaking approaches and contexts associated with documentary in order to imagine, speculate and represent future worlds.
This screening event is organized in conjunction with the exhibition Fabulous Images. When Fiction Takes Root, which examines the hermeneutical scope of science fiction as a narrative genre in the context of emancipatory discourses that foster ethnocultural diversity by bringing together artworks, novels, comic books, popular films and collectibles, all of which lie at the juncture of sci-fi and identity politics.
This event is co-organized by the Foreman Art Gallery and Sporobole Art Centre, with the participation of Cinema Politica and La Maison du Cinéma.
