[Nijmegen] Go Short : Global South Futurisms

#This meetup is around a third-party organizer (Lux Nijmegen): you need to purchase your ticket online before #

Curious about the best short films of the moment? Go Short is back at LUX Nijmegen!

The Global South Futurisms block will be screened on Friday.

Long dominated by Eurocentric cinematic traditions, science fiction has often served as a fantasy of conquest for the white man. Yet, in the hands of filmmakers from the Global Majority, the genre shifts register. Drawing on currents such as Arabfuturism, the films in this programme use speculative fiction as a way of thinking through generational and environmental wounds in ways realism cannot hold. In effect, the “fiction” of science-fiction becomes a powerful means of comprehension, where fabulation helps offer new political imaginaries.
Other Skies invites audiences to witness speculative fiction in new hands—restless, incisive, and unmistakably its own.

Information: I will be at the LUX entrance from 21:00. Following the screening, there is the option to join the Go Short free after-party at Cafe de Plak!
