Abstract
This talk interrogates twentieth-century cinema as a form of cultural memory and a thinking machine, and in terms of aesthetics, cultural capital, and politics. Combining these promotes an ecology of questioning and thinking about new and transitional post-capitalist forms and events of beauty, equality, and freedom for the twenty-first century.
The aim is to awaken for the active spectator new ways of being, dreaming, interpreting, and thinking within the space of the cinematic frame and institution.
