- FID hors murs

Get Rid of Oneself is actually a video-film-tract addressed to those who anonymously embody the return of political activism inside of Empire. Whilst its preliminary sounds and images have been filmed during the riots in Genoa, 2001, these materials are pulled apart and recomposed so that you can track down the intensity of a shared knowledge, rather than generating yet another documentary edition in the programmed and hyper-mediatized confrontation from the G8 counter-summit. Elaborating a complicated and rhythmic sort of address via sound/image disjunctions, inexpensive video results and efficiency, the movie declares its very own exile from the biopolitical space-time exactly where nothing at all at any time takes place. The crisis it announces could be the sudden return of heritage, but this time devoid of characters or a story, and of the politics with out topics.
Provisionally aligning itself with all the so-called ‘Black Bloc' motion – with all the arrogance of its discourse as well because the drive and design of their resistance – Eliminate Yourself is surely an encounter with emerging, non-instituted or identity-less varieties of protest that refuse the representational politics in the official Left. Edited within the aftermath of 9/11 - a period of doubt, reflection and heightened protection actions worldwide – the film also attempts to measure the unusual distance these occasions have crossed, and the growing repression underneath which the sensation of ‘civil war' has long been buried while in the meantime. A filmed essay that works by betraying its personal type, Eliminate Oneself tries to approach what on earth is most open in an event, as opposed to capturing and completing it as something recognizable.
