or any thoughts on the matter.
i've been thinking about this for a while but I do not have the words to explore it well or in details.
like the white idealist part of ecology, the concept of "nature" as some kind of perception-black-hole that blinds from the class struggle aspect, or more complicated, the realization for white from the west that they can neither pursue the neverending capitalist global death machine, nor go back to some fantasized "local", "traditional", "simple", "close to nature" lifestyle that never even existed, and if the sources of that fantasy even existed, they were obliterated during the building phase of the nation state that needed to colonize itself before going outward. colonial mindset x "state of nature" etc
shit like that
be it "classic" works/thoughts on the subjects or very recent things, because things are shifting quite quickly
other random threads : the right to land, soft colonialism wanderlust, white indigenous, Bruno Latour
I have the opportunity to screen movies to a somewhat sizeable audience quite regularly, and I need some recommendations, because my knowledge only extends so much. The audience will go from somewhat politically engaged to extremely radicalized, knowledgeable people (as much politically as with movies).
Be it an experimental documentary which subverts a whole political question, an astute analysis of a geopolitical situation, an emotionally devastating (or potentially hopeful) fiction, or just a very sensible poetic essay in the Chris Marker style or documentary like Paris is Burning, I need it all.
Preferably not something mainstream as that kind would already be widely available to watch for most and the goal is to widen the audience of lesser known movies that need to be shown just as much. Like really very obscure stuff preferably.
Thank you comrades.
