The Fatal & Fallen workshop invites participants to critically engage with the charged socio-political territories depicted in East Asian exploitation films. 

Jade Barget and Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee will introduce the research process behind the curation of the programme. In collaboration with artist Minh Chau Luong, the facilitated workshops aims to  reimagine and reappropriate the excessive space of exploitation films. The genres we are looking at – B-series, exploitation films – hold a marginal place in cinema history. Many of the titles of the genres have disappeared, and what remains are mainly posters, reviews, music and advertisements. We will undertake the making of our own experimental exploitation film in print form. Participants will be asked to bring images, fragments of text, or any other material inspired by the programme as well as their own research and consumption of exploitation film. The last day of the workshop will be spent creating the paraphernalia of our exploitation film.
