[Fabrice Oliver Dubosc]
Fabrice Olivier Dubosc – a part of the ten Visionary Council – shares meandering reflections on the fugitive being of relation in S. Katugampala’s 2023 film, Still Here, weaving in thoughts from Báyò Akómoláfé, Erin Manning, among other poets and thinkers.
The film expresses a sort of immune grace, an in-difference to what classifies lives as being more or less valuable.
I think Still Here explores an emerging desire for post-apocalyptic narratives: not as the survival of the lone hero preserving humanism against all odds in a dystopic future, but the ongoing persistence of ordinary people’s lives under conditions that seem unpropitious.
