We are delighted to announce the first session of BID the Screen, the moving image programme of Biennale Internazionale Donna. This screening is part of interferences, the Biennale’s public programme, and is curated by Riccardo Rizzetto.
BID the Screen is a space dedicated to research-based and experimental film practices that challenge how reality is narrated and authorised. To "bid" the screen is to acknowledge it not as a neutral surface, but as a political device where images are ordered and futures are imagined.
Our first session on 19 April brings together three essay-films exploring how political, technological and economic forces reshape the material conditions of our planet.
- Sonia Levy, We Marry You, O Sea: A reflection on the Venice Lagoon, examining the long entanglement between water, ancient ritual and environmental infrastructure.
- Susan Schuppli, Moving Ice: Following the movement of ice across geological and historical time, the film reveals how it became a colonial commodity within global capitalism.
- Felix Lenz & Ganaël Dumreicher, Brute Force: An investigation into the extractive logics of image-making, exposing how data extraction leaves material residues within the ground.
Across soil, ice and data, these works reveal environments as archives of transformation; inviting us to question the frame and imagine otherwise.
