Mr Nobody Against Putin is about how you lose your country. And what we saw when working with this footage is that you lose it through countless, small, little acts of complicity. When a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything, when oligarchs take over the media and control how we could produce it and consume it we all face a moral choice.
Change often fails and that rarely has anything to do with whether the concept is a good one or not. As Howard Aiken famously put it, "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throat." As the creator of the Harvard Mark, one of the very first computers, he was speaking from experience.
In Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 spoken-word song 'The Revolution Will Not Be Televised' serves as both a secret password and background noise. The members of the defunct resistance group the French 75 use its lyrics as a call-and-response sign and countersign: If you know what comes after 'Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies, and Hooterville Junction,' you must be one of the good guys.
Hughie, Mother's Milk, and Frenchie are imprisoned in a 'Freedom Camp.' Annie struggles to mount a resistance against the overwhelming Supe force. Kimiko is nowhere to be found. But when Butcher reappears, ready and willing to use a virus that will wipe all Supes off the map, he sets in motion a chain of events that will forever change the world and everyone in it. It's the climax, people. Big stuff's gonna happen.
My footsteps echo across the floors of a gallery that seems nearly empty of people or art. Yet as I wander the gallery, I am mirrored by swarms of people that seem to flurry across the walls. From behind the glass of orderly, and often rather small, black and white photos, jubilant masses rush towards me arms raised, sometimes alongside grim-faced placard-carrying companions, while in others children play amidst rubble, friends embrace, and couples kiss.
Hubert Crabières and Alexis Etienne, the co-founders of the journal l'idiot utile, pursue several objectives. One of them is to build a "structure of resistance" -to open up a creative space with as few constraints as possible and free from external censorship. They also pursue sincerity in costumes, clothing and disguise whilst detaching these practices from the fashion world. Clothes are, as Hubert puts it: "often unwearable and exist only within the photographic moment".
Sean Dunn, a blond 37-year-old in a pink button-down and New Balance sneakers, was captured on video Sunday night screaming at some of the federal agents who have begun patrolling the city on Donald Trump's orders.
In the Netherlands in 1943, more than 6,200 Dutch doctors -97 percent of the profession-refused orders to register with the Nazi-controlled Chamber of Physicians. This registry was intended to force doctors to cooperate with racial and ableist screening, deportations, sterilization, and euthanasia policies.
Annie Palmer, the White Witch of Rose Hall, is remembered as a sadistic 19th-century enslaver who terrorised enslaved people before her own death at the hands of her lover.
This summer, ATA's Anti-Fascist Film Series emphasizes successful resistance against fascism, showcasing films that highlight the restoration of democracy through historic events.
The resisters that I researched, by contrast, were laser-focused on creating change, whether through satire in 1920s Germany or modern-day peace advocacy.
"Joy is an act of resistance, state party Chairman Rusty Hicks suggested at a beer-and-wine reception...the party's annual three-day convention with as much conviviality as the downtrodden could muster."
