\u201cThe Movement of Ideas\u201d is the first comprehensive screening of all films by Oliver Ressler. Since 2000, Ressler has created 15 films, which all will be presented at Cinema Dynamo, a cinema space initiated by Andrea Bellini, the new director of the Centre d\u2019Art Contemporain Gen\u00e8ve<\/a>, Switzerland.<\/p>\n

\u00a0The philosopher Alain Badiou writes: \u201cWe have to overturn the old verdict that would have us believe we are living in the age of the \u2018end of ideologies\u2019. We can now see quite clearly that the only reality behind their so-called \u2018end\u2019 is \u2018Save the banks\u2019. Nothing could be more important than rediscovering the passion for ideas, or than contrasting the world as it is with a general hypothesis, with the certainty that we can create a very different order of things. We will contrast the wicked spectacle of capitalism with the real of peoples, with the lives of peoples and the movement of ideas.\u201d (The Communist Hypothesis, 2010)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe Movement of Ideas\u201d for the first time brings together all of Ressler\u2019s films that focus on different social movements and struggles of people for a self-determined life. By merging the fields of art and activism, the works seek to discuss political ideas, support progressive social processes, project alternative ways of how to organize society and therefore contribute towards the needed systemic change.<\/p>\n
