Naeem Mohaiemen will introduce a rare screening of Mrinal Sen’s INTERVIEW (1971).
 |
Naeem Mohaiemen combines films, installation, and essays to research left utopias, sometimes in the form of revolutionary insurrections that end in ruin. His films have explored a messianic attachment to violence (United Red Army, 2011; Afsan's Long Day, 2014), mis-recognition of allies (Last Man in Dhaka Central, 2015; Abu Ammar is Coming, 2016), and a fatal pivot toward petrodollar alliances (Two Meetings and a Funeral, 2017). He co-edited System Error: War is a Force That Gives Us Meaning (w/ Lorenzo Fusi, 2007) and Solidarity Must Be Defended (w/ Eszter Szakacs, 2019– forthcoming). He was a Guggenheim Fellow (2014), and a finalist for the Turner Prize (2018). |
