Soda_Jerk

Meet the Australian artist duo Soda_Jerk Wednesday 29 May at 5pm. Soda_Jerk is screening their film TERROR NULLIUS and after the film screening, the artists participate in a talk with curator Jacob Lillemose.

TERROR NULLIUS is a mix of political satire, collage film and road movie. It is visual fireworks that express power structures and politics, where the post-apocalyptic dessert camps from ‘Mad Max 2’ turn into refugee camps, meat-eating sheep turn into anti-colonialist protesters, and a feminist motorcycle gang puts Mel Gibson in his place. The film is commissioned by ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image).

Film critics Luke Buckmaster describes it in The Gurdian: “And it is a crazy, punch-drunk, astral-projecting, bizarro roller-coaster ride through Australian cinema, with an unnerving ability to observe things that were never said and forge connections that were never made. The film celebrates and denigrates; it loves and hates. In one sense it is respectful of classic texts, because without them it would be nothing. And in another, there is a feeling the directors enjoy watching old sentiments burn to the ground, with a “nothing is sacred” ethos, all about challenging old narratives and asserting new ones.”

The event is in English and takes place in Charlottenborg Art Cinema at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Admission is free.

During the period 28 May – 23 June, we are screening the film TERROR NULLIUS throughout opening hours in Charlottenborg Art Cinema at Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
