From 20h, LAG. Movie and informal discussion.

L’An 01 (1973), Jacques Doillon, Gébé, Alain Resnais, Jean Rouch, many others. French with English subtitles. 1h 27m.

L'An 01 is a French movie based on the homonymous comic strip by Gébé and the contributions from its readers. Script and realization are the result of international collaborations. The film was first released on the 22 of February 1973. It seems a series of riots all over France exploded in the weeks following the film release.

L’An 01 (the year 01) is an experimental comic and movie, as well as a collective thought experiment impatient to be put in practice: neither forwards, nor backwards, L'An 01 begins by making a step to the side. First of all: On arrête tout! (we stop everything). Stop with work, with buying crap, with money, with property, with all that we do that sustains the world that oppresses us all. Some time after this radical quitting, people decide together how to start things anew and differently.

---

After the film we will discuss together ideas of immanent revolution and millenarianism, in political movements, philosophy and magic, as well as in relation to contemporary phenomena such as growing conspiracies of the Great Reset, widespread work resignation (the so called Big Quit) and the threat or promise of the (post)pandemic “return to normality”.
