Radical Film, Art and Digital Media for Societies in Turmoil. - Böckler, Ursula; Lazarus, Julia; Weltz-Rombach, Alexandra (Berlin : K. Verlag, 2023)
Can radical film practices help to understand a disintegrating world? Can they have a healing effect? How can we maintain structures of solidarity in the field of radical media production for societies in turmoil and transition? And what does radical cultural practice look like in times such as ours, when everywhere we turn there seem to lurk even more acute challenges? The book is geared towards the filmmaker and audio-visual practitioner as activists for whom film and digital media are weapons of choice and at the same time towards the academic, who is researching and debating contemporary film practises that act on and struggle with the conditions of our time. Within the book the camera and other digital means of visual production are analysed and debated as tools for engaging in a critical discourse on society as a whole. The multi-angled practices of radical audio-visual production are investigated by film practitioners, artists, activists, as well as academics and critics, who all share a commitment to experimentation and insist on a pluriversal rethinking of the image in radical film, art and digital media.
