This series reprises film and video works shown this past summer at Documenta11, the influential international arts exhibition held every five years in Kassel, Germany. Curated by Mark Nash, the films address themes of the concurrent exhibition as a whole—in particular, experiences of expatriation and diaspora. The films vary considerably in form, from open-ended vérité dialogues with social reality to the more closed and formally precise statements of artists like Isaac Julien and Chantal Akerman; from collective, politically focused documentaries to memory-driven multilingual narratives that delve into the past. Some directly address the issue of exile and displacement, such as Jonas Mekas’s As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty. Others look frankly at the question of political agency, like Jean-Marie Téno’s Chef! Despite the divergent experiences represented and the various modes of cultural production and reception deployed, all of these works in one way or another participate in an emerging genre of cinema, deriving inspiration from the work of oppositional Latin American Third Cinema filmmakers and moving the argument on toward the development of transnational filmmaking and spectatorship.
