A Manifesto for the Un-communal

A Manifesto for the Un-communal

58th TIFF: Greek Premiere

Shot in Germany, Israel, Greece and Denmark, this film is the convergence of the voices, the stories, and the living landscapes of seven+ characters that live “against the warming comfort of the self-righteousness of their herd. People undefined by their class, undefined by their education, revolting against any sense of state or non-state, polyglots and polyfucked, traitors, un-marginalized and always out of the margin”. Or, as Homer would put it, “the Lawless, those without Hearth or Clan” (Iliad, I.63).
