Digital Trespasses: screening + talk Guest curated by Jjambbong
In the age of platformisation, how might we examine the ideologies behind the services that mediate our contact with the world?
Digital Trespasses is an inquiry into the ways in which the digital image has been wielded by nation-states as a means of control. By combining film screenings with discussion, we invite you to engage with cinema that challenges this hegemony with counter-technologies, where Pokemon Go provides a glimpse into restricted military sites, and 3D reconstructions of crime scenes are used as court evidence.
Screening + talk runtime: 95min
Event presented by Atlas Cinema x Sine Screen and guest curated by Jjambbong
About Jjambbong film club
Jjambbong is a pop-up community cinema dedicated to showcasing all kinds of Asian cinema. Jjambbong is a Korean-Chinese seafood soup, as well as a slang term in Korean for a mix of everything, which is reflective of our hybrid programming. Through discussion, food, and fansubbing, we hope to open up a space for inter-diaspora solidarity and critical cinephilia.
