Gold Diggers

New frontiers do not run along the known borders of our nation states. In “Gold Diggers” people try to take back control of their own destiny. In Embargo, Johann Lurf crosses the line of corporate power and high-impact security measures. Dealing with the armaments industry, he unmasks its tactics by using its own tools. Louis Henderson dives from his desktop into the illegal gold mines of Ghana, where layer by layer the capitalist myth of the immateriality of new technologies is unraveled. Toymakers brings abstract economy back to solid colour and shape. Anton Brutski shows an old man's triumph over matters of life and death. And we end in Athens, where we push the streets and homes of a new generation of hope and desire. Archipelagos, naked granites is a vivid film diary that bangs against the walls of a city in transition.
