SI is pleased to present a weekly series of film screenings taking place during Rafał Skoczek's offsite solo exhibition, Kino Drift.
The screening series draws on Fernando Solanas and Octavio Getino's 1969 manifesto “Towards a Third Cinema,” which called for a cinema that was democratic and popular: independently produced, politically militant, formally experimental, and focused on anti-colonial, anti-imperialist struggle as well as the lives of oppressed people.
Taking heed of the manifesto's critique of passive spectatorship and its argument for a critical and engaged mode of viewing that transforms the screening into a social and pedagogical environment, the series similarly treats each screening as a structured event for watching and discussing films together. Skoczek has invited various collectives who actively adopt these strategies in their practice.
