Of Hope and Glory

Not everyone will agree on what Utopia looks like. In this programme, old and new ideals and ambitions are questioned. With Warta, Katarzyna Guzowska appropriates a popular military ritual and confronts an unexpecting audience with their preoccupations about authority. On a bright summer day Irina Botea lets a young woman rehearse to perform fragments of written utopian theories from Constant Nieuwenhuys, Thomas More and Karl Marx. This takes place against the backdrop of one of many architectural projects initiated by Nicolae Ceau?escu that were never finished. And in La Fièvre we travel across Morocco, where memories of the history of de-colonisation and political conflict emerge in cinematic hallucinations. While the forgotten fights appear and disappear, the past is overrun by a new wave of resistance.
