PROGRAM
We are Making a Film About Mark Fisher
Special Screenings
We Are Making A Film About Mark Fisher is a 65-minute cinematic experiment exploring the continuing relevance of the late theorist’s ideas on capitalism, culture, and the future. Blending documentary, performance, and hauntological fiction, the film follows Parkins — a time-slipped character — through ghostly landscapes and digital spaces, tracing Fisher’s thought from the 1990s to our algorithmic present. Created collaboratively by over 70 artists through Instagram, the film embodies Fisher’s call for collective imagination beyond capitalist realism.
