Event information

Caspar Stracke will be present for a Q&A at the screening.

time/OUT OF JOINT is part documentary, part science fiction, an experimental inquiry into the reversal of time, centred around a dialogue between a highly eclectic group of philosophers, scientists, and cultural producers who work with time reversal. Employing backwards-running moving images and sound, visual mirroring and inversions, the film traverses an astonishing array of themes: experimental sound and 70s rock music culture, time-reversed audio as X-ray imaging, talking to oneself 15 nanoseconds into the future, experiments in slowing light down to the speed of a bicycle rider. It introduces us to failed time machines, to occult practices of speech reversal and the paradoxical industry of “age reversal”, cryonics, gerontology and life extension. At once erudite, intense and playful, time/OUT OF JOINT teases at the boundaries between film, art and science.

Featuring philosophers Manuel DeLanda and Agnés Heller, filmmakers Narcisa Hirsch and Ladislav Galeta, particle physicist Mikhail Lukin, Michio Kaku, Aubrey de Grey, Michael West and others.
