Film When Y

WHEN I SAY AFRICA unpacks the problematic white savior narratives that are at the root of Western entanglements with Africa. As white filmmakers we intend the film to be a space where self awareness and a critical view of media, pop culture and humanitarianism can lead Western audiences to reflect on their complicity in systems of global privilege. The film sets out to disrupt problematic narratives and asks audiences to think about different ways of representing and engaging with the continent.

"When Dream Worlds Collide" is a fascinating, funny and shocking tour through the many facets of the burgeoning cult of Disney escapism currently pervading the mainstream, white-bread, baby-boomer faction of our nation's society. From the "Furrie" phenomenon, to rabid pin collecting, to Disney theme park "annual pass holders" spending every day of their life at Disneyland, we see not only the driving force of fear behind the irrationality but also how a disillusioned generation brought up with the "nuclear family" ideals of the fifties is beginning to turn its back on a frightening, hostile world resembling nothing like the one promised in their youth, choosing instead to purchase a more kinder and magical facsimile from Disney at a much steeper price than they realize.

Alÿs’s motto for When Faith Moves Mountains is “Maximum effort, minimum result.” For this epic project the artist invited five hundred volunteers to walk up a sand dune on the outskirts of Lima, Peru, shoveling in unison, thus displacing the dune by a few inches. Demonstrating a ridiculous disproportion between an effort and its effect, the work is a metaphor for Latin American society, in which minimal reforms are achieved through massive collective efforts. Participants in the project gave their time for free, reversing conservative economic principles of efficiency and production. Embracing rumor, urban myth, and oral history, Alÿs aims to make works that continue beyond the duration of the event itself, through stories disseminated by word of mouth.
