Panòptic Greatest Hits

The digital revolution is radically transforming the foundations on which modern societies are structured, at such a speed that we hardly have enough time to understand what we are experiencing and to analyse the consequences - negative and positive - that this paradigm shift entails.

Every year, the Panòptic Festival organises an annual call for short films to form part of its programme. The festival is looking for audiovisual works that address, from an open and critical perspective, the effects of technology on contemporary societies, in any format and language, from fiction, documentary, animation and experimental. In recent years, many quality short films have passed through the festival, which together help us to see the tensions and potential of digital culture.

In this session we will watch a selection of these short films that best portray the contemporary paradigm. We will do so in the heat, with refreshments, and in the company of the team that organises the Panòptic Festival.

The short films to be screened in this Video Tuesday session are the following:
Blood Like Water (Dima Hamdan, Palestine, 2023, 14 min)
