Paul Sharits one of the great experimental, sometimes called structuralist / materialist, filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Setting up a minimal procedure to explore the interaction between a person and the (documentary) film/ video process. What initially seems simple ends up contrarily distanced and intimate, public and private.

A conversation and livestream considering a global feminist critique of capital with Silvia Federici, Hortense Spillers and Gayatri C. Spivak.

The first performative part in a game of chance and endurance as actor Tam Dean Burn constantly broadcasts for 24hrs.
