Night for Day

By Emily Wardill
Sunday 27.03.22

The speculative fiction film of British artist Emily Wardill explores what would happen if a communist revolutionary gave birth to a techno-utopian.

About the film

Comprised of interviews conducted with Isabel do Carmo, who co-ran the Revolutionary Brigades in Portugal that helped to overthrow the longest fascist dictatorship in Europe and two young men Alexander Bridi and Djelal Osman – astrophysicists running a startup in Lisbon that attempts to programme computers to recognise moving images - Night for Day collages a subjectivity from fragments of camera's struggling to see at night, out in the cold presences watching families inside their homes and images that attempt to describe a loved one in frequencies of three.
