Film Jive

Film Jive adopts an informal, autodidactic approach in considering the interdisciplinary aspects of cinema, and more specifically, its relation to philosophy, literature, music, and politics. Through this path of inquiry, the show attempts to generate discussion and sonic experiences which imagine new forms of cinema and continue to locate linkages between seemingly disparate threads of cinematic thinking.
