Abstract or Description: | One Nation Under A Grave explores the magick of 'Brexit' as a far-right coup. The film considers the referendum question 'Leave or Remain?' as a device converting economic crisis into fascist opportunity, nudging us from class war toward race war. In the process the film imagines a different kind of 'us versus them', a different exodus from a failing state. The film is the first part of a collaborative project (ongoing) with Veronica Diesen: The Game of Freedom. |

Additional Information: | Premiere: Kode 2, Bergen, Norway Revisiting Derek Jarman’s ‘Blue’ (1991) in the context of Brexit, Tory victory and Labour demise. One Nation Under A Grave explores the behavioural-scientific magick of 'Brexit' considered as a far-right coup. The film considers the referendum question ‘Leave or Remain?' as a device converting economic crisis and popular unrest into fascist opportunity, nudging us from class war toward race war. In the process of taking apart this logic, the film imagines a different kind of ‘us versus them’, a different exodus from a failing state. |
