🎥 Oblique Takes – Meditations on Art and Crisis
A film by Pablo Martínez-Zárate (@pablosforo ), followed by a Q&A.
Shot on Super 8 and 16mm across the Netherlands, Mexico, and Cuba, Oblique Takes is a film of questions—asked through text, image, and sound. Against the backdrop of global collapse, the work seeks not to represent crisis but to intervene in it. A meditation on what artistic expression can (and cannot) hold.
📖 We’ll also be giving away free copies of Pablo’s publication:
Eccentric Pedagogy. Artistic Research in Times of Crisis (2023), a manifesto on artistic research as a dissensual, fugitive practice. Published by the Netherlands Film Academy. @masterfilm_amsterdam
