The Post Film Collective
The Post Collective is an autonomous platform founded in 2018 in Belgium by Marcus Bergner, Sawsan Maher, Mirra Markhaeva, and Elli Vassalou: artists, activists, and researchers with diverse legal statuses. The collective aims to provide employment and a community for its members, with generative modes of dialogue and storytelling forming the basis of their experiential approach to art and design. The Post Collective seeks to develop creative alternatives to the dominant systems of control and exclusion, facilitating a position to critically rethink and re-conceptualize a shared future as community. The Post Film Collective, in collaboration with Robin Vanbesien, explores a plurivocal film practice guided by collective auto-ethnography. Their ciné-assemblies practice cinema as a form of communal assembly, involving collective knowledge production, mutual exchange, and an ethics of connectedness.
