- Breaking bread until we are free -

In this video-essay, we delve deep into our angry, saddened hearts, into desires for freedom and into anarchist histories, to uncover strategies, ways of feeling and thinking that can lead us closer to total liberation. Trying to untangle where the concept comes from, and how it can still be useful today in different contexts, we argue for always striving to act in solidarity across movements, to learn and re-learn, to make and unmake, until we all are free.

dictionary of thinkers & concepts

An audiovisual exploration of various thinkers to think with and the concepts they use. In this playlist we highlight the works of philosophers, political theorists, researchers and writers we admire - at least in some regard. We explore their ideas and look critically at their work, sometimes pointing to what we consider they are missing, other times engaging deeply with their writings by putting them into an unexpected form. Often, but not always or exhaustively, we approach the thinker from an antispeciesist point of view, re-shaping some of their concepts into useful tools for animal liberation.

hybrid animated essays

An experiment in video-making, these short animated essays combine storytelling with critical theory. They are an attempt to put into moving images the questions we ask and the answers we find along the way. Whether relying on blackboard or digital animation, they weave emotion into thinking about the world, challenging its structures of power and domination. This playlist is where we play, finding new languages to express ourselves - it is the place for our uncategorizable artforms, where both our short films and thoroughly theoretical essays can be found.

collaborations

A meeting point with other writers, researchers and activists, this playlist makes possible animated essays we couldn’t have written: it is a place of exchange, where we work together on a script/text and then take on the entire work of transforming it into an audio-visual piece. Within it, we prioritize issues of social, climate and multispecies justice, aiming to put forth into the world particular, situated and liberatory ways of thinking.

- A film essay with urban animals -

Non-human animals have always been around us, shaping and being shaped by our shared worlds. Yet in the modern city, their presence is increasingly cast as a problem, and their ways of living as disruptions. By following their traces, this film essay points toward a different picture that questions the narratives we take for granted. Through more-than-human encounters filmed locally in Romania, and a critical detour from the official discourse, other ways of living begin to surface. Perhaps there’s more we can do to unmake the anthropocentric landscape. What would it take to coexist more justly with urban animals? This film strays with this question and its possible answers.
