CODE 8: Powers, Poverty and Policing
As AI-powered surveillance tools increasingly shape how protests, neighborhoods, and daily life are monitored, questions about power, oversight, and who gets watched have never felt more urgent. This feels like a timely moment to explore these tensions through film. We invite you to an upcoming session of the Open Talk Series at Hosei University: "CODE 8: Powers, Poverty and Policing."
Following a screening of Code 8, director Jeff Chan will join us to discuss the motivations behind the film and the ideas that shaped it, followed by a cross-disciplinary discussion with Naruhiko TAKESADA, and Jason H.C. Cheung, moderated by Juri Tamura.
📅 Date: Saturday, 25 July 2026
🕒 Time: 10:00–13:00
📍 Venue: Multimedia Studio 0300, 3F Boissonade Tower, Ichigaya Campus, Hosei University
