Frames of Representation: The Human Surge (El Auge del Humano) + Q&A

23 Apr 2017

This screening is followed by a Q&A with director Eduardo Williams.

Compelling and formally innovative, El Auge del Humano explores what it means to live and work in the digital present. Taking us into the lives of young people in different geographical locations, it offers a perspective that is at once intimate and global. Eschewing quick narrative links and easy conclusions, the film moves slowly, paying attention to the details of its subjects’ lives and the rhythms of their days. Throughout, it moves between countries and cameras: Mozambique is shot on a pocket Blackmagic, Argentina on 16mm film. Opening up new networks and points of contact between different stories, it meditates on the possibilitiesand impossibilitiesof connection, asking: what new forms of intimacy are possible in the contemporary moment?
