Mexico. The near future. Memo Cruz has always dreamed of leaving his tiny village and heading north. But when he is ultimately forced to leave, Memo finds a future so bizarre – border walls, shantytowns, hi-tech factories, remote control drones and aqua-terrorists – that it looks a lot like today.
“Filled with energy, rage, and the smallest measure of hope, Empty Metal is a new kind of political film for these extraordinary times” -Film Society Lincoln Center
Squeaky Wheel presents a virtual artist talk with artists Alex Rivera and Khaled Jarrar to discuss their films that are screening as part of Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance.
A visceral road movie that chronicles the daily travails of Palestinians of all backgrounds as they seek routes through, under, around, and over a bewildering matrix of barriers and border walls in the highly militarized West Bank.
For just one weekend, watch all four films as part of Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance online!
Join artist resident Ajunie Virk for a workshop that teaches participants how to create experimental audio by drawing directly onto the optical soundtrack of 16mm film, a technique the artists uses herself to personalize sound and generate abstract audio layers within her own video works.
This skill share invites participants to experiment with autobiographical storytelling and the practice of autotheory—the blending of lived experience and critical thought—to create new forms of narrative that collapse the boundaries between personal and intellectual inquiry.
This workshop by visiting filmmaker Jason Rhee equips filmmakers, media artists, and researchers with practical strategies to build, negotiate, and sustain trust with participants—especially those from marginalized or vulnerable communities.
