The Science of Exclusion and Conjecture | Who Decides What Is Real? / 9 EPISODES
This series explores the mechanisms through which a society decides what may be considered true, what deserves to be investigated and what must remain beyond the boundaries of accepted knowledge. Beginning with the work of Charles Fort and his celebrated The Book of the Damned, it enters the history of the facts, phenomena, questions and possibilities that were excluded not necessarily because they had been disproved, but because they could find no place within the system attempting to understand them.
Victims and Executioners | 9 EPISODES.
Victims and Executioners is a nine-part cinematic series about the transformation of sacrifice, the construction of innocence and the way suffering can become an identity. It does not investigate whether harm exists. Harm exists. It investigates what happens afterwards. What happens when we stop saying, “Something happened to me,” and begin saying, “This is what I am”? When does a wound cease to describe an experience and begin deciding who deserves to be heard, who must be protected and who must carry all the blame?
The Games of the Gods | 7 EPISODES. The Games of the Gods is a seven-part cinematic series about the transformation of sport from ancient ritual into the contemporary entertainment industry. It does not investigate physical activity as a form of health, bodily development or human expression. It investigates the moment movement was organised, regulated and transformed into a competition capable of representing religious, political and economic conflicts. Because sport did not begin solely as entertainment.
Genetic and Artificial Amnesia | 6 EPISODES.Genetic and Artificial Amnesia is a six-part cinematic series about the fragility of human memory, the disappearance of civilisations and the natural and political forces that determine which parts of the past will be allowed to survive. The series begins with the universal flood, not to impose a single historical interpretation or to prove that every account describes exactly the same event, but to ask a question: why did civilisations separated by entire continents preserve stories of floods, opening skies, submerged lands and worlds that had to begin again?
Complex Society: The Invisible Corporation | 4 EPISODES . Complex Society: The Invisible Corporation is a four-part cinematic series about the transformation of progress into an economic obligation, the political power acquired by corporations, the conversion of the citizen into a consumer and the monetary system that keeps the entire structure in motion. The series does not present the corporation as a secret organisation governing from a hidden room. It investigates something more ordinary: how a company can acquire power over a society when it produces the infrastructure, technologies, employment, platforms and services that society can no longer afford to lose.
The Inner Kingdom | 2 EPISODES. The Inner Kingdom is a two-part cinematic series about the transformation of spiritual experience into institution, the distance between the message attributed to Jesus and the doctrines constructed around Jesus Christ, and the possibility that what the churches taught humanity to seek outside itself may originally have been revealed within. The series does not attempt to decide whether Jesus existed exactly as the Gospels describe him, determine which text preserves the definitive version of his message or establish a new doctrine against those that came before it. It investigates something more intimate.
The Salvation Industry: The The New Religion of the Self / 7 EPISODES. The Salvation Industry is a seven-part cinematic series about the New Age, contemporary spirituality and the transformation of the inner search into an industry of personal salvation. The series examines how the promise of a different world can become an obligation to continually transform yourself in order to deserve it. The new age promises peace, awareness and reconciliation. But while that future remains unfulfilled, the individual is given an immediate task: to work on themselves.
The Christmas Market | When Christmas Became Consumption / 6 EPISODES. The Christmas Market is a six-part cinematic series examining the historical transformation of Christmas: from its ritual origins and incorporation into Christianity to its reinvention as a family celebration, an emotional obligation and a global market. The series does not claim that Christmas is a commercial invention or that the feelings associated with it are false. It examines something more complex: how the market can appropriate genuine human emotions without having to create them. Love. Generosity. Belonging. Nostalgia. Childhood. The desire to return home.
Aliens from outer space / 6 EPISODES. Aliens from Outer Space is a six-part cinematic series about the Space Race, UFO culture and the representation of extraterrestrials in science fiction. It explores how literature, cinema, testimony and cultural expectations contribute to the construction of what we expect to find beyond Earth.
The Art of Governing Peoples | The Architects of Social Order / 7 EPISODES. The Art of Governing Peoples is a seven-part cinematic series about the political architecture that organises society before its citizens are allowed to participate in it. The word politics comes from the polis. But the polis was not merely a city. It was a way of classifying human life. Citizens, magistrates, rulers and property owners existed within it, alongside women, enslaved people, foreigners and labourers who sustained the community without possessing the same right to govern it. Perhaps the first political question was not what is just. It was who belongs.
Time Trapped in Space - The Religion of Monuments / 4 EPISODES. Time Trapped in Space: The Religion of Monuments is a cinematic series of four short films about megalithic monuments, cultural memory and the authority with which we reconstruct the past. Through archaeology, interpretations of the landscape and stories of lost civilisations, it examines how a structure can survive for millennia while its meaning passes from one set of hands to another.
