Louis Henderson

2015 / 0:21:00

Louis Henderson analyses the lingering racial violence in the United States by drawing on the recent murders of Mike Brown and Kajieme Powell by the police. To try and chart its genealogy and describe its development, the director uses the notion of “code” and its polysemic dimension. Denoting both a legal decree and an algorithmic rule, the code is seen as underpinning necropolitical power. Henderson’s discourse hinges on the articulation, embedding and superposition of disparate images and sounds taken from the Internet in order to propose a critical perspective of Afro-American history.

October 1 - 9, 2016

The section "Cinéma in Transgression" offers middle or feature lengh films out of norm and order, between fiction and documentary, characterised by complex audio-visual languages, unpredictable associations based on unconcient, metaphorical and metonymical proceedings. In this way these films can express the complexity of reality.
