"The line between social reality and science fiction is an optical illusion"

Docu-fiction by Akomfrah, the director who did the Stuart Hall *******, among many other documentaries. Unlike the much **** focused and linear logic of the Stuart Hall *******, the Last Angel of History is an experimental journey to the past & future seen through the lenses of a fictional "Data Thief", with no real theme or message except music, afro-culture and a misguided concept of technology. Basically it's a mess. The only positive thing is that it introduces some good music and manages to be creative in the editing & superposing of sounds and images, techniques which constitute Akomfrah's aesthetic signature. Original concept, though not leading anywhere at all.

A sci-fi digitized diaspora of Africans. 上世纪电视节目总是充满了conspiracy的感觉

Smart and savage and campy AS F “the line between social reality and science fiction is an optical illusion”

“A truly masterful film essay about Black aesthetics that traces the deployments of science fiction within ***-African culture”

Or deeper still, the Mothership Connection, home of the extraterrestrial brothers… Coming to you directly from the Mothership. Top of the Chocolate Milky Way, 500,000 kilowatts of P. Funk Power!!!!

Afro-futuristic Si-Fi不是关于“未来”，而是**的被**者作为地球上已经存在的“外星人” 与“现在”协商的一种途径。科技将引领人们开辟尚未到达的领域，听觉上的，**上的，历史意义上的，对于被**者的新的可能，但data thief这一身份本身又暗示着，对所有碎片的整合源自于“偷盗”，将不属于自己之物占为己有，是自嘲，还是对殖民作出的反向反应呢：一种补偿性的，开创性的re-appropriation。

Meta film的新鲜尝试，虽然有些cringy但背后的ideas很酷：拍一个纪录**未来主义历史的**未来主义题材故事。了解到特别多有趣的African American culture, 包括甩掉黑人历史未来展望的techno，和看似站在未来其实在反映当下黑人挣扎的独特African American sci-fi

震撼，这就是film essay吧！data thief本身搅扰了temporality：从未来复归现在挖掘历史。***** iconography与black aesthetics的交缠。电影本身的自反性在于画面和音响的干预，narrative在事实与虚构间摇荡。从对techno music本身的分析看，的确足够***** archaeology。

喜欢这个！futurism, history, and memory
