Adam Curtis. A natural history of power. Session 2
HyperNormalisation
Audiovisuals
Free
Adam Curtis is the leading figure in contemporary audiovisual essay. His films and series, as lucid as they are revealing, show the operation of power, its winding architecture, and how it marks both present-day geopolitics and us.
In HyperNormalisation, Curtis reviews the apparent conformism —part stupor, part frustration— with which we are living the decline of our system, struggling to distinguish between citizen and consumer or spectator.
HyperNormalisation, 2016, 166 min
This cycle, curated by Chema González, brings together almost the entire body of work of this English journalist and producer, re-editing the vast archives of the BBC. The films are screened in remastered copies accompanied by presentations and debates about Curtis’s work.
