Blueprints for Subversion
Bringing together three landmark films that offer radical visions of resistance against entrenched power structures – whether by detailing meticulously planned urban insurgency (The Spook Who Sat By The Door), calling for anarchic street-level rebellion (Throw Away Your Books, Rally in the Streets), or imagining collective feminist resistance in post-revolutionary times (Born in Flames), the series presents a unique, confrontational strategy—a blueprint—for challenging the status quo and daring to imagine revolutionary alternatives born from disillusionment and struggle.
