Composition
Gestures to break an image
In Peru, anti-government protests in 2022 were violently suppressed; in Lima alone, demonstrators were monitored by 3,500 surveillance cameras. As a poetic act of resistance, a filmmaker takes to the virtual streets to erase the aggression.
Compact Disc
A young filmmaker and his friends relive their traumatic experiences of the protests in Hong Kong more than six years ago. The footage is indistinct, but its impact and the memories it evokes are indelible.
Elegy for the Forgotten, on an Endless War
Iran’s history is marked by bloody invasive wars and constant internal repression. The violence goes hand in hand with an endless war of imagery, one the regime understands all too well.
