A conversation in NY TID with author Erland Kiøsterud about our ecological responsibility – a 27-minute short film in connection with Kiøsterud’s essay Alt det vi elsker, er forbigående, flyktig, midlertidig (All that we love is passing, fleeting, temporary) in NY TID’s winter edition.

A philosophical conversation about our relationship with nature. Do we have something to learn about ecological thinking from Chinese understandings of reality, and do we have a similar approach in the West – in philosophers like #Martin Heidegger# and #Deleuze & #Guattari?

Images that need to resist the history of colonial representation that was imposed on the Palestinians.

  • Mark Cousins: «AI would never do that»
    INTERVIEW: Mark Cousins built a sixteen-hour documentary, refusing to separate images from the world that makes them. In conversation, he keeps reaching for objects scattered around him, as if the room itself were mapping cinema's connection to everything else.
