Artists Aylin Kuryel, Deniz Buga and Fırat Yücel present a two-part programme exploring the translation of political struggle into film, featuring the Editing Resistance workshop in the afternoon, and an evening screening of two short documentaries: Class Outside (2026) and happiness (2025), followed by a discussion with the artists.

"Jusqu'à la victoire"*, Jean-Luc Godard's text documenting the Palestinian struggle, emphasizes that militant filmmakers should establish political relations between images and sounds rather than creating merely "real" images. What editing tools, approaches, and methods can help us create political relations between images and sounds today? How can we activate our own archives and make works that accompany action?

In this three-hour roundtable workshop, we'll first examine clips from films on political struggle and discuss the practice of assembling and editing. In the second half, participants are welcome to share their own footage or personal and collective archives related to political struggles, along with current project ideas for group discussion and collaborative feedback.

Note: This workshop welcomes artists/filmmakers, activists, and anyone interested in using visual media to disrupt official narratives. No prior editing experience is required, though participants are encouraged to bring footage/material if they have it.

* In English, "Until Victory." Originally published without a title in El Fatah, July 1970.

In the evening, we will screen two short documentaries: Class Outside (2026) and happiness (2025), followed by a discussion with the artists Aylin Kuryel, Deniz Buga and Fırat Yücel. It is possible to sign up for only this part of the programme, without taking part in the workshop.

Class Outside (dir: Aylin Kuryel, Deniz Buga, Fırat Yücel, 30 min, 2026) shifts the focus to the street. Emerging from the student encampments and protest movements in Amsterdam, the film takes the form of a collective video diary shaped by a broad network of participants. It explores how images are produced within struggle, how they circulate, and how they sustain forms of collective attention and action.

happiness (dir: Fırat Yücel, 18 min, 2025) unfolds as a desktop documentary, tracing the experience of living through livestreamed genocide in Palestine, digital overload, and political unrest. Moving across browser windows, messages, and fragments of everyday life, the film reflects on how screens become sites of both exhaustion and mobilization.
