PROGRAM

Framing Collective Action (House)

The screening series Framing Collective Action presents artistic and documentary films created within collective structures. By linking historical and contemporary examples, the series explores the potentials of collective filmmaking through diverse aesthetic approaches. Each film program focuses on a specific spatial context (House, Street, Land) and examines the political and social impact of collective filmmaking both in front of and behind the camera, within and beyond the frame.

House, the first iteration of this series, brings together three short films which frame collaboration and action within a domestic building—simultaneously opening up and critically interrogating the notion of home. Through this selection of audiovisual works, the house reveals itself as an impermanent shelter, a site with questionable borders, and a space that invisibilizes the working conditions of those that must maintain it. Yet, as these films from India, Ukraine, and Brazil demonstrate, this very same house can serve as a place from which collective action might emerge.

With works by Center for Spatial Technologies in collaboration with Forensis & Forensic Architecture, cinéma copains & pátio vazio, Yugantar Film Collective
