“THE RED FILTER IS WITHDRAWN.”

Minjung Kim
Republic of Korea
11 min.

Numerous colonial places, including coastal caves and military bunkers hidden inside volcanic craters,  as well as memories of uprisings and massacres are found in every corner of Jeju Island. 

If you look into the entrance of one of the huge caves on the Korean island of Jeju, it looks like a camera lens. If you walk into the cave, it looks like a screen, a rectangle showing clouds and white light, just like a film. Director Kim Minjung delves into the bloody history of Jeju, where tens of thousands were killed in a massacre in 1948. The camera follows the traces in the landscape, sometimes transformed by a strident, distance-creating red light, accompanied by a commentary by avant-garde filmmaker Hollis Frampton. Film as a means to address history and its taboos. (Gunnar Landsgesell – Viennale)

“Ka-pi-ta”is the official job title given to Congolese charged with enforcing their white master’s bidding—through domination—over their fellow Congolese on plantations, in factories, in commerce, and other sites of capitalist extraction and production. In this film, Kapita becomes a simbol for the work of making visibile and decoding colonial representations.

AHORITA FRAMES

Angelika Levi | Durata 22 min.

"Ahorita Frames" moves from New York in 2001 across the border to Tijuana in 2019 the stories of the workers charged with disposing of the residual asbestos after 9/11 , thus reconfiguring the political cartography of power relations in America in the last two decades. The film not only describes the devaluation of migrant women, but also a system of cultural symbolism and its colonial narrative.
