From a contemplation of the Guantánamo Bay military prison to an alternative history of Puerto Rico to the story of a vampire disciple of Christopher Columbus who finds Jah, this programme features six films that daringly (re)consider neo-imperialist realities.

What are the sounds of Guantánamo Bay Detention Center? In 2015, poet Jordan Scott set out to record the ambient sounds of the prison as a means of bypassing its strict media censorship rules. Today, former detainee Mansoor Adayfi recalls how sound shaped his experiences there—both of torture and hope. Approaching the 20th anniversary of the prison, Scott’s field recordings and Adayfi’s memories come together to create a visceral new landscape of this notoriously secret place.

SIGNAL and NOISE

The prologue to an alternative history of Puerto Rico, told through a reappropriation of 1940s US colonial propaganda.&nbsp;

HEXEGETE 1: PROLOGUE

When she was a little girl, filmmaker Lisa Danker learned from her Cuban grandparents who Fidel Castro was. Thirty years later, following Castro’s death and the celebratory clanging of pots in Miami that accompany it, Danker reflects on that conversation in the context of US-Cuba relations.

CLANGING ON CALLE OCHO

October 1980, Haiti. A 26-year-old man becomes gravely ill and dies of an unknown disease. Meanwhile, in Ronald Reagan's United States, health authorities have decided that Haitians, homosexuals, hemophiliacs and heroin users are to be lumped together in a “4H club” whose members are dying of this deadly new epidemic.

OF WHAT DEATH WE DIE

Melting Snow is a short archival documentary exploring the colonial exploitation of Puerto Rico’s labor force through the symbol of water.&nbsp;

MELTING SNOW

Christopher Columbus uses his undead powers to create his “New World”, where he sucks the blood out of his colonial project for centuries. Complicit in this is Oba, a shipwrecked African who, once bitten, becomes Columbus’s subject and collaborator. When Oba discovers Rastafarianiam—and ganja—his allegiance changes. In his post-vampiric, present-day existence, Oba struggles with the colonial bureaucracy he helped devise, including his pursuit of US citizenship and literacy.
