South-South Futurisms
Eurocentric ideals long dictated what science fiction looked like: a white man piloting a rocket or a time machine, invading another country, another era or another planet – et voilà. This programme brings together short films from the Global South – or, more accurately, the Global Majority – that make space for a critical imagination. Chris Marker gets rediscovered in post-revolutionary Egypt, vegetation wins over concrete, and langurs take over World Heritage sites – or perhaps they always belonged to them? By dismantling colonial worldviews, these filmmakers are reclaiming authorship of their own history and future.
This programme is a collaboration with yanco.
