Verify on official websiteThe 2026 Spiral Conference takes up the rich and ambivalent legacy of the term 'radical,' inviting reflections on what it means to be radical today: to break with the given, to accelerate intensification, to disrupt order, or to imagine new forms of social, political, and aesthetic life. Cinema, perhaps more than any other medium, stages the paradox of the radical: at once bound to apparatus, industry, and repetition, yet capable of rupture through montage, distortions or clarifications of perception, and the shock of the image.
