“Fuck 68, fight now!” appears on the walls in Greece. 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of that turbulent (and idealised) historic moment and today, instead of remembering it as a celebration and retrospectively, we use this anniversary as a counterpoint to think in this intense now, in this revolution that needs to discard the historic 1968 burden to introduce new languages of protest and resistance.
The filmmakers in this cycle show us that films that are highly aware do exist, those that question what to look at, from where with a force that is overwhelming and emotional in equal parts. Their reflexive and throbbing films push the formal limits whilst demanding the respect and dignity of the human experience.
