Live editing: an epistemological strategy of non-liniarity

This is a meta-reflexive (and political) experimentation that addresses questions of technology in relation to affective and historical knowledges. Situated between traditions of experimental ethnography and essayistic approaches to film as practice, la Cour will work with live editing as a method of what she terms post-future essayism: a precarious filmic methodology and epistemological strategy of the moving image developed in responds to a discontentment with current portrayals of the Arctic, that produce the region as an outside to the global west. Aesthetically, post-future essayism more precisely proposes to pay attention to (and offer care about) fragmentary and momentary compositionals effect, with a desire to navigate and negotiate the role of film in relation to a historiographic concept of futurity. For example, by engaging its site of presentation, its technical errors during production and social impulses of the lives of people taking part in it. She is eager to further qualify what this can ‘look’ like in practice, and is looking forward to use her time in Brussels visiting film archives, talking to local practitioners and organizing live editing events.
