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.

In the eighties Steyerl shot a Super 8 feminist martial arts film with her best friend Andrea Wolf (who was later killed fighting for Kurdish independence) in the lead role. Steyerl's memories and accounts of Wolf's life provoke the filmmaker to engage in a fundamental reflection on how fact and fiction are intertwined in global discourse.
