Theatrical release June 11: AFTERLIVES (D/F/BE 2025)

In his first feature-length desktop documentary for cinema, filmmaker Kevin B. Lee delves into the historical traces of extremist propaganda and the efforts of those resisting its violent impacts. 'Afterlives' explores how to confront the violence encoded in this media, reaching beyond its toxic effects to engage power structures spanning from the colonial past to the digital age. Moving between virtual and physical environments, the film encounters an artist, an activist and a researcher, who each use the legacy of violent extremism to create new images and narratives with new possibilities for the future.
