Screening | Exploring the World of R. Buckminster Fuller via His Poetry & Documentary
The launch of Intuition by R. Buckminster Fuller, reissued by David Zwirner Books this fall, will include a film screening and a conversation. Attendees are encouraged to join the conversation at 7:00pm, even if they are unable to attend the film screening. The conversation will be preceded by a screening of the 1974 film, The World of Buckminster Fuller, directed by Robert Snyder. Perhaps the most comprehensive film on Fuller's work, this 80-minute documentary is told entirely in Fuller's words and is a personal message from Fuller to our fragile world. Intuition is an inquiry into synergy and the order of things - an inherently plural universe where the behavior of whole systems is unpredicted by the behaviors of the parts taken separately. The conversation with Isi Litke and Eva Diaz, moderated by Leopoldo Villardi, will discuss Intuition in the context of Fuller's life and work, and the book's relevance to contemporary systems of design and architecture.

Film | Two Prosecutors (2025): German Historical Drama (+ Filmmaker Discussion)
Summoned with a blood-written note smuggled out of a prison block, an idealistic state lawyer pushes past the leery authorities to interview an elderly, broken-down Bolshevik. The young attorney, determined to expose the miscarriages of justice that landed the man in confinement, finds the eye of the state turned on him instead, as an ever-tightening net encircles his investigation. Set at the height of the Great Purge and drenched in the paranoia of Stalin's police state, filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa's latest triumph is a chilling, Kafkaesque thriller about the impunity of power and matter-of-fact horrors of fascism. Director: Sergei Loznitsa Cast: Aleksandr Kuznetsov, Aleksandr Filippenko, Anatoliy Beliy, Andris Keiss The post-screening Q&A with director Sergei Loznitsa will be moderated by Mark Lipovetsky.

In Havana, their co-performance with local Chinese Opera singers sparked a vibrant renaissance in the city's dwindling Chinese community. An emotive journey back to her father's homeland in China gave Coby a chance to reflect on family memories and observe the startling transformation of once familiar urban landscapes.

Screening | Trust & Safety: Selection of Censored Works
A screening and conversation addressing the challenges faced by organizations entrusted with preserving artworks that test cultural, technological, and institutional limits. Artists and independent media organizations have long developed their own channels of circulation in response to cultural and institutional barriers. Histories of queer experimental media are especially bound up with these challenges. Artists created alternative networks for engaging sexuality, identity, and desire at moments of stringent cultural suppression. Today, commercial platforms apply standardized moderation systems to material whose meaning requires crucial historic context. The program features a selection of works from the collection by Peggy Ahwesh, Alex Bag, Ellen Cantor, Barbara Hammer, and Muntadas. The works were selected in relation to Vimeo’s content moderation policies and the limitations those policies pose for an archive of challenging media. Following the screening, Rebecca Cleman and Michael Connor will discuss the formation of alternative systems for distribution and access. Trust & Safety considers how arts organizations build and maintain their own technological infrastructure, and how federated systems such as PeerTube might support new networks for the circulation of challenging work.
