Dreamlands: Immersive Cinema and Art, 1905–2016

As part of the Dreamlands film series, Ken Jacobs’ abstract digital animation draws the viewer into an optical plane somewhere between two and three dimensions, creating a crystalline space into which he inserts intertitles of searing political observations, echoing a thundering musical score by J.G. Thirlwell.  Jacobs’ epitaph for late Capitalism breaks through the patina of optical beauty, revealing a stark reality beneath.

The screening takes place on November 20, 2016. Learn more.
