About the event
Make a Distinction (2021)
16mm film transferred to digital video, color, sound, 62 min, Directed by Kera MacKenzie & Andrew Mausert-Mooney. A family rests in the shade of a C-47 warcraft. An army installation contains the last remnants of an endangered grassland ecology. Young filmmakers hone their skills making cop shows on Chicago streets. A debut hybrid non-fiction feature, Make a Distinction maps unseen forces of US imperialism through ostensibly disconnected aspects of daily life. If you can’t name the enemy do you become it? The filmmakers will lead a Q&A after the film.
"Make a Distinction explores American landscapes and unearths the imperial undertones embedded in them. Through a lens that fuses ecological concerns with questions about state power and the structures that keep the scales unbalanced, Make a Distinction offers us an important example of how experimental documentary practices can create bridges across seemingly disparate conceptual terrains."-UnionDocs
