Art. U. Sci. 7(5): MUBI Conference (feat. Act of Killing, Decision to Leave, and Demons)

Published: Jan. 16, 2023, noon

The Arts Union Science podcast finishes off Volume 5 with its first ever conference. Buckle up for three presentations on movies from MUBI, the curated streaming service that is sweeping the nation. With each presentation a new speaker will highlight a particular film that can be found on MUBI. These include Kathleen Xu’s presentation on The Act of Killing (a documentary about the horrifying ways that war criminals justify/glorify their acts of genocide), Aditi Ramesh’s talk on Decision to Leave (a Hitchcockian neo noir thriller by Korean director Park Chan Wook), and Steven Harvey’s demonstration on Demons (an ‘80s horror movie with shlocky effects and even shlockier ADR). The films are all available on MUBI, but the conversations can only be found here.
