About the event

A film about the invisible operating system of the modern world. From an anarchist squat in Berlin, to a futuristic landscape in Taiwan, to a remote village in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest, we encounter a series of figures from the internet decentralization movement. These radicals are confronting internet infrastructure and the unexpected ways it exerts pressure on their way of life.

Before each screening, audiences are invited to join a secret server hidden inside the cinema — a private, offline network, completely disconnected from the internet. Inside, a parallel version of the film unfolds: raw footage, deleted scenes, research fragments, rough notes, live chat rooms, and hidden easter eggs — materials that exist nowhere else. This ephemeral network transpires before the screening and disappears at the end of the night.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with director Dylan Reibling and artist Sarah Friend. ️
