Charlie, le journal qui ne voulait pas mourir

In September 2020, a trial opened at the Palais de Justice in Paris to judge those who participated in the murderous attempt to destroy a newspaper. This historic trial is that of those days in January 2015, when France witnessed live the assassination of the editorial staff of "Charlie Hebdo", the very person who had revived the newspaper in 1992. In 2020, it is in a bunker in Paris, that a new editorial staff still keeps freedom of expression alive. Starting with the trial of the January 2015 attacks and immersed in the current editorial staff of the newspaper, this documentary returns in archives, testimonies and drawings on the history of "Charlie Hebdo".

GYN01D

GYN01D is a collaged film following the origin story of artist/cyborg Mi55SH3LL and is influenced by the lesbian experience, and how the artist connected with her own queerness throughout her adolescence living in a homophobic environment. Mi55SH3LL is obsessed with queer liberation informed by new technologies, digital systems and the internet. She is motivated by the idea that the cyberspace is another space for us to exist in and what the implications would be for queer identities. Mi55SH3LL is inspired by how these could be used as generative tools in creating work that is concerned with queer futures. The story is stitched together using found sound from science fiction movies to video games.

Pervading Animal

Graeme Arnfield’s kaleidoscopic essay film revolves around the story of Dr. Joseph Popp, an evolutionary biologist and architect of one of the earliest known examples of ransomware. In 1989, Dr. Popp distributed 20,000 floppy disks containing what would come to be known as the digital AIDS virus – a malevolent trojan horse that scrambled the contents of the victims’ computers and offered to unlock them only in return for a ‘licensing fee.’ Working with a range of digitally manipulated found footage, Arnfield explores the legacy of Popp’s virus drawing surprising connections to the US invasion of Panama, the construction of a butterfly conservatory in New York and the aesthetics of computational art.

AI: What's going on?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already an indispensable part of our lives. In the field of social life, economy, health care, army, traffic and education... Everywhere there are more and more - sometimes very surprising - applications. And the end is far from in sight, the potential is enormous. An enlightening documentary that looks at the present and the future of AI, but also dares to ask questions about possible pitfalls. Should we set a limit somewhere or place our full trust in AI? Are we gradually becoming superhumans or are we just losing control of our own destiny?

Frisky and Mannish: Popcorn

From its sweeping soundtracks and iconic themes to its ludicrous tropes, the silver screen is fertile ground for this acclaimed pair of pop academics. They’ve rigorously examined the inner workings of truly great films, such as Mrs Doubtfire, Strictly Ballroom, and Lion King 2: Simba’s Pride to name but a few. They’ve explored ideas that directors may not have considered (Scarface is, in fact, much snappier as a musical, FYI). So, this riotous double act are fully prepared to rip apart and redefine cinema as we know it. Part-movie, part-live show, part-parody, part-love letter to cinema - PopCorn is the digital realisation of everything audiences and critics have come to love about Frisky & Mannish.
