Sisters with Transistors
Editor
Piense en la música electrónica antigua y probablemente verá hombres presionando botones, perillas y límites. Si bien la música electrónica a menudo se percibe como un club de niños, la verdad es que desde el principio las mujeres han sido parte integral en la invención de los dispositivos, técnicas y tropos que definirían la forma del sonido en los años venideros.
Other, Like Me
Editor
Hull, England, 1970. In a run-down commune in a tough port city, a group of social misfits - mostly working class, mostly self-educated - adopted new identities and began making simple street theater under the name COUM Transmissions. Their playful performances gradually gave way to work that dealt openly with sex, pornography, and violence. COUM lived on the edges of society, surviving on meager resources, finding fellowship with others marginalized by the mainstream. At the core of the group were two artists, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti. As their work evolved, Cosey embarked on a career modeling for pornographic magazines, which she claimed for herself as a conceptual artwork, using it to forge a specific position in relationship to 1970s feminism. In performances, Genesis pushed himself to extremes, testing the limits of the human body.
INFINITY minus Infinity
Editor
INFINITY minus Infinity draws on several inspirations: the modernist verse of the Jamaican poet Una Marson, the alluvial invocations of the Martinican philosopher and poet Édouard Glissant, the black feminist poetics of the Brazilian philosopher Denise Ferreira da Silva, and the racial formation of geology theorised by British geographer Kathryn Yusoff amongst others in order to envision a black feminist cosmos animated by the principles of mathematical nihilism.

The Act of Killing
Editor
En 1965 hubo un golpe de estado en Indonesia. Miles de comunistas, reales o presuntos, fueron asesinados por escuadrones de la muerte. Unas décadas después, el pasado pervive y un relato se perpetúa. Pero nada será igual después de este filme.
