Adam Curtis is one of the pre-eminent documentary film-makers of our time. His films tackle the complexity of contemporary culture with an eye to critique of a nebulous and mobile form of power. With the recent release of <i>Can’t Get You Outta My Head </i>(BBC,
2021), Curtis has again made a formidable intervention into public debates around the apparent failure of progressive, and radical, social movements post-War and the politics of mediation in the constitution and reproduction of hegemonic forces.<br>
<br>
With this in mind, we have put together a panel discussion on ‘Power, Politics & the Films of Adam Curtis’. Panellists include leading cultural critic and philosopher, Isabel Millar<<a href="https://www.isabelmillar.com/">https://www.isabelmillar.com/</a>>
(Kingston University, London); independent scholar, Daniel Tutt<<a href="https://danieltutt.com/about/">https://danieltutt.com/about/</a>> (host of Jouissance Vampires podcast), Brett Nicholls, who has written on Curtis here<<a href="https://ourarchive.otago.ac.nz/handle/10523/7880">https://ourarchive.otago.ac.nz/handle/10523/7880</a>>,
and Rosie Overell, who is currently considering how the ‘Real’ might be mediated.<br>
<br>
This event will be fully Zoomed and we encourage you to join in the discussion. Please email <a href="mailto:rosemary.overell@Otago.ac.nz">rosemary.overell@Otago.ac.nz</a><<a href="mailto:rosemary.overell@Otago.ac.nz">mailto:rosemary.overell@Otago.ac.nz</a>>
