AND Film Programme (2017)

The film programme revealed the earth’s layers, from the drone’s eye view to deep into subterranean fear-inducing bunkers. The programme is a poetic reflection on the verticality of the earth and how this is rendered. It featured a selection of rare archival footage, artist’s film, VR and digital reconstruction techniques from archaeologists Dr Alice Watterson and Kieran Baxter. We also showed some little known classics from Werner Herzog and Busby Berkeley, moving image artists Pierre Bismuth, Emma Charles and Hito Steyerl, and forensic analysis from Laura Poitras, Henrik Moltke and Josh Begley. We took you onto a journey from satellite imagery to the wild underground.
