Still from Before I Let Go (2022), directed by Cameron A. Granger
Offscreen Schematics for Past Futures is a program of four short films that consider urban and rural environments and the many implications of living in this world. The four films complicate visions of space and place, poking holes in colonial and patriarchal interventions and intentional displacements of communities. A variety of offscreen “voices” —a benevolent, but naïve interviewer based in Bad City, United States; Jamaican poet Una Marson; Bangladeshi architect Keshef Mahboob Chowdhury; and Thai automated tour guide Kanya —offer points of entry into the planned and unplanned forces that form industrial cities, tourist-driven regions, and pastoral villages. These films sketch critical, speculative, and sobering perspectives that allow viewers to interrogate what unfolds around us.
Presented in English and Thai with English subtitles.
The program includes a post-screening talk with Cameron A. Granger, moderated by Jheanelle Brown.
Please note: Offscreen Schematics for Past Futures contains strobe lights.
