VIRTUAL MAYSLES CINEMA: AFTER CIVILIZATION

After Civilization free streaming via Maysles Cinema until August 15th.  Streaming free for the next month are twelve films that together interrogate the concept of western "civilization" for its deep roots in settler-colonialism and continued imperial project. While some filmmakers in the series recast observational footage to imagine the future, others invoke surreal imagery to visualize the fragility of their distinct settings. Part ethnographic, part science fiction, After Civilization reckons with ecological crisis and the ongoing material violences of dispossession, while gesturing toward a future of collective liberation.  More details and online viewing at the Maysles Cinema site: LINK
