Entrée is
excited to preview extracts from the forthcoming experimental documentary
film Collectively Conscious Remembrance, produced by Bergen-based Isme Film.
The film is following the 2015-16 student protests in South
Africa, and is composed of
portraits of student activists who with various, overlapping identities in
terms of gender, sexual
orientation, race and/or class, claim their place in the student protests in
Cape Town. The portraits are complemented by four members of a new
generation of South African artists born after apartheid, local contemporary artists Sethembile Msezane, Imraan Christian, Jody Brand and Angel-Ho who highlight the theme of identity in
their own work. These are the four short film extracts (and portraits) that Entrée
will be screening the next weeks.
The backdrop for the film is a
massive, nationwide student movement in South Africa that mobilized heavily in
2015 and 2016 to decolonize the country. The movement has argued that
"everything" must fall in order to build up a society without
solidified colonialist structures, where whites still have the upper hand long
after apartheid was abolished and Nelson Mandela proclaimed that South Africa
was the rainbow nation.
Isme Film is a collaboration between
Aslaug Aarsæther and Ingvild Aagedal Skage. The project has received support from Western Norway Film Centre, Bergen Municipality, Fritt Ord and the Centre on Law and Social
Transformation (CMI and UiB). The film Collectively Conscious Remembrance is expected to premiere in the fall of 2019.
