- SUNNUDAGUR 2. NÓVEMBER

16:00 - The Cell (Angela Melitopoulos, 2003)
The philosopher Antonio Negri published together with co-author Michael Hardt the world best-seller "Empire". In summer 1997, he decided to conclude a 17-year long chapter of repressive Italian politics after going through detention and exile by spontaneously handing himself to prison. He was finally released in 2003. His report on his experience as a prisoner describes new control forms in the execution of sentences, aimed at the psyche and the mind of the inmates. Antonio Negri talks about forms of his spirit".

18:00 - Themroc (Claude Faralodo, 1973)
Made on a low budget with no intelligible dialog, Themroc tells the story of a French blue collar worker rebels against modern society, reverting into a urban caveman. The film's scenes of incest and cannibalism earned it adults-only ratings, and featured in the UK's Channel 4's red triangle series of controversial films.

20:00 - Punishment Park (Peter Watkins 1971)
Set in detention camp in an America of the near-future, Punishment Park's, pseudo-documentary style places a British film crew amongst a group of young students and minor dissidents who have opted to stay three days in'Bear Mountain Punishment Park'. The detainees, rather than accept lengthy jail sentences for their 'crimes', gamble their freedom to on an attempt to reach an American flag - on foot and without water - through the searing heat of the desert. What follows is a lethal, one sided game of cat-and-mouse with a squad of heavily armed police and National Guardsmen. The film was heavily attacked by the mainstream press when it was published.

,,Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims."
