“The camera records what’s in front of it. What should we do with that opportunity?”
Documentary • Insightful • Philosophical

Take a plunge into the vast historic ocean of media culture. From the birth of the camera obscura to the first viral video, this witty and thought-provoking documentary chases the rise of image culture as we know it.

By collaging historic archive material of great dictators parading in front of cheering crowds with home videos, live-streaming content and clips of thrill-seekers hanging out at the top of a skyscraper, or harrowing press photography exhibiting violence, it offers an emblematic study of cinema and the social history it creates: What are the implications of being exposed to the billions of images competing for our attention?

This screening will be followed by a pre-recorded 22mins Q&A. Please arrive at the advertised start time as the screening will begin promptly.
