Chapter « Do incels dream of computational capitalism? On feminist film at the dawn of a new (statistic) misogyny »

Edited by Ursula Böckler, Julia Lazarus and Alexandra Weltz Rombach

& published by K-Verlag, Berlin, 2023.

Can radical film practices help to understand a disintegrating world? Can they have a healing effect? How can we maintain structures of solidarity in the field of radical media production for societies in turmoil and transition? And what does radical cultural practice look like in times like today, when everywhere we turn there seem to lurk even more acute challenges. In this collection, edited by members of the Berlin chapter of the International Radical Film Network, we investigate practices of audiovisual production that act on and struggle with the conditions of our time. The contributions were created by film practitioners, artists, activists, as well as academics and critics, who all share a commitment to experimentation and insist on a pluriversal rethinking of the image in radical film, art and digital media.
