From the organisers:
‘No Loneliness Like This’ is a film and food gathering showcasing experimental films that traverse the many manifestations of state-sanctioned isolation. Here, cinema becomes a vessel for reckoning with the solitude shaped by the slow violences of colonialism and capitalism. Through the rituals of watching and eating, they reflect on and transmute these lived isolations, examine the structures that uphold them, and imagine resistance: fantasies of collective action against the state, of connection as life source, of solidarity through struggle.
