About Crosscuts 2022

The first editions of our beloved film festival Crosscuts in 2018 and 2019 gathered a wide audience. They facilitated crucial discussions on a multitude of topics, including, postcoloniality, indigenous politics, and relational filmmaking, bridging academia with filmmaking and activism. For the 2022 edition, we scaled into a less intensive format and had a great one-day event at KTH, making it more accessible to students and researchers at KTH. The 2022 edition explored specifically “extraxtivism” of our precious earth, giving space to the voices of the marginalized, both indigenous and non-humans of the world. There were topics concerning Deep Sea Mining, environmental movements, and Sami art and culture, with eco-poetry performances about Amazonia plastics, and multispecies relations, concluding our full day with a beautiful jojk performance by Ylva Gustafsson.
