🎥REBOOT Horizon Europe – Meet the ELIAMEP (Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy) team! “The cultural impact of the European film sector, embodying core European values and ideals, is as vital as its economic outreach.

Catching up: Earlier this year I was generously invited by Berlin's Sinema Transtopia to contribute an essay on Caribbean cinema to accompany their second Cinema of Commoning conference. In Fugitive Futures: Some Notions of a Caribbean Cinema Yet to Be, I reflect on how the complex history, porous identity and distinctive geography of the region has shaped its cinema - and what might lie in the future. 'Haunted by ancestral echoes, this cinema is a fugitive cinema of resistance; of useful refusals and potent abnegations. Its first refusal is the classical mode of resource-intensive audiovisual production at odds with its economically impoverished production context. At once and always a decolonial cinema, it is a cinema not of material resources but ideas, whose every participant is alive to their contribution to a collective endeavour. A cinema, to quote Alice Diop, "made every day far from the centres of power, far from the places where laws are laid down, and where people sometimes claim to know what must be said and done or how it should be said done."'

To turn the tides and avoid the collapsing of ecological, economical and political systems, we need to create alternative visions. Visions of a better working planet. Most media that deal with our future are dystopic. 😵 From a neurogical and psychological perspective this is the worst that we can do: Create tons of vivid imaginary how the world is going down. Because, as neuroscitists today agree, life brings about what we think about. This is why it is so crucial to create best case scenarios with solid ideas how wo can manage the upcoming challenges. 💫 Therefore I celebrate movies like this one. Jan Baumann creates a beautifull outlook for a better tomorrow in a fantasy documentary playing in a future setting in 2053. How did we face the multitude of obstacles and threats in an everchanging and grossly endangered society? Lets create more utopias and positive images with precise ideas how to make these happen. It will be the first step to bring about real change 💪
