Fata Morgana (PG)

Known Unknowns film season
Part of Arnolfini's Old Media season, this season of films and videos focuses on the camera's role not only in recording events, but also in producing them. The lines between documentary and fiction, acting and being, thought and moving images, become fuzzy; suggesting that cinema has become a prosthetics for our memories, subjectivities and doubts.

Herzog's science-fiction elegy of decayed colonialism in the Sahara is also a cinematic essay on the uneasy relationships between man and Earth. The film captures the vast African wasteland, with the desert's residents depicted with a deliberately staged quality.
