We Are Making A Film About Mark Fisher (2025), 65min
The film is a 65-minute cinematic experiment exploring the continuing relevance of the late theorist Mark Fisher’s (1968–2017) ideas on capitalism, culture, and the future. A compelling critic of capitalist realism, he asked urgent questions about agency, collective action, and how popular culture can keep alive visions of different futures.
Blending documentary, performance, and hauntological fiction, the film moves through ghostly landscapes and digital spaces, tracing Fisher’s thought from the 1990s to our algorithmic present. It explores solidarity, shared labour and digital connectivity and enacts what Fisher insisted was still possible – decapitalised cultural production, collective agency among the ruins of neoliberal atomisation. Created collaboratively by over 70 artists through Instagram (@markfisherfilm), the film embodies Fisher’s call for collective imagination beyond capitalist realism. A reminder that DIY doesn’t mean private – it means working together.
