Lee about the interplay of images and violence, examined through ISIS propaganda videos. Inspired by Harun Farocki, the film asks how one can approach images of terror critically without unintentionally amplifying their toxic content. Moving between online environments, dialogues with researchers, museum artefacts and AI-generated images, and inspired by the figure of Medusa, it offers orientation in today's on- and offline worlds of images. The screenplay is by Kevin B. Lee, the camera work is by Ginan Seidl, and the music is by Tadklimp and Maya Shenfeld.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/zurich/events/afterlives-49906/", "official_url": "https://www.filmpodium.ch/film/172775/afterlives", "image": "https://noky.io/images/44d7f62728c1b0702a4fbc16e430f878e0539e180391952b35dbd6db4a13b37d-600.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-16T18:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Filmpodium", "address": "Nüschelerstrasse 11, 8001 Zürich", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "D Is for Distance", "start": "2026-11-03T18:30:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Filmpodium", "address": "Nüschelerstrasse 11, 8001 Zürich", "price": "", "price_from": "9.00", "price_to": "18.00", "category": "film", "tags": ["film/documentary"], "description": "\"D Is for Distance\" is an autobiographical essay film about Louis Petit, who lives with a severe, complex form of epilepsy that has shaken his young life and erased his childhood memories. Behind the film are co-directors Christopher Petit and Emma Matthews, Louis' parents, who fought for years with the unyielding bureaucracy of the ailing British health system. An unrealized film project of the father about William S. Burroughs and former CIA chief James Angleton opens the space to examine the connections between technology and the subconscious, capitalism and the mind's \"inner reality\".
