Occupy, Resist, Produce

2/10/2015,20:15,Ταινιοθήκη της Ελλάδος

The Athens Biennale 2015-2017 "OMONOIA", the most important art show in Greece, presents a provocative film triptych on the emergence of alternative economies. The three medium-length films featured in this selection follow the workers of three different self-managed factories.

The Athens Biennale 2015–2017 "ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ", in the framework of the Athens International Film Festival (Opening Nights), presents the film project of Dario Azzelini & Oliver Ressler Occupy, Resist, Produce on 2 October at 8pm. In view of the critical historical juncture, the Athens Biennale 2015–2017 "OMONOIA" unfolds in three strands of debate and research intervention: the emergence of alternative economies, the performative in the political and the establishment of institutions that redefine existing structures. In relation to these pertinent issues, the Biennale presents for the first time in Athens the social project of Dario Azzelini & Oliver Ressler Occupy, Resist, Produce, which follows occupied factories where workers managed to organise labor under their control. The three films focus on the factories of RiMaflow (Milan), Officine Zero (Rome) and Vio.Me. (Thessaloniki) respectively. Films have been produced for the first three factories and more are to follow. For each film, discussions with the workers and their assemblies, as the main decision-making body of the workers, are conducted and recorded. These discussions offer the workers the possibility to publicly address the achievements, difficulties, advantages and challenges of worker's control.

    Variations on the Same Subject / Ιdeés fixes / Diesirae

    The debut feature of avant-garde Greek director Antoinetta Angelidi is all about reconstructions of the female form in contemporary art and approaching gender as an aesthetic artifice instead of a specific predestined fate. One of the most significant specimens of Greek experimental cinema.
