Each year we excitedly head south to the AAFF, the third oldest film festival in North America, to feast on the best in the world of experimental cinema. Then we bring our favorites back Up North for you. Experience 47 animated, small, surreal events that taken together somehow replicate the feeling of being alive in “Symphony No. 42;” explore a 100-year-old boat shop in the LA harbor that evokes a hidden world at sea in the award-winning “Port Noir;” and thrill to an incredible soundtrack as the Vaux’s Swifts “Layover” in Portland, Oregon, on their migratory flight to South America. In Person: AAFF Executive Director Leslie Raymond.

Description

A technographic study of e-recycling and neo-colonial mining filmed in the Agbogbloshie electronic waste ground in Accra and illegal gold mines of Ghana. The video constructs a mise-en-abyme as critique in order to dispel the capitalist myth of the immateriality of new technology — thus revealing the mineral weight with which the Cloud is grounded to its earthly origins.
