LOVE & FASCISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY + Q&A
This film is literary in the sense that it references '70s experimental cut-up praxis and the Theatre of the Absurd ... it highlights some of the more disquieting aspects of whatever stage of surveillance capitalism we're currently in. 5/5 ” Audrey Schlock, Letterboxd
Unknown Pleasures presents artist-filmmaker Carmen-Sibha Keiso’s debut feature LOVE & FASCISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY, a unique essay-film in the vein of Jean-Luc Godard. Q&A with Carmen-Sibha Keiso, moderated by Digby Houghton (programmer).
Brilliant young Arab-Australian poet-artist-filmmaker Carmen-Sibha Keiso’s deubt feature film LOVE & FASCISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY (2018) is a truly unique work for Australian cinema, mixing the essay-film form with a document of experimental theatre. It is the definitive Duchampian reaction to the ineptitude of progress in the modern world. It’s a sentimental essay-film about longing and love in the vein of Godard’s Histoire(s) du cinéma – not to be missed.
Presented by Unknown Pleasures, a series of screenings curated by Chris Luscri & Bill Mousoulis, featuring the best of Australian indie cinema, both new and old, with discussions with the filmmakers. LINK – www.pureshitauscinema.com/unknown_pleasures.html
