The proposition to make a cut through the screen brings attention to the outside of film, to the infrastructure that sustains it and to the material formation of its images. This book compiles voices that account for different ‘cuts through the screen’, what they enable and how they expand the cinematic space as well as the film projected onto it. When thinking about struggles and how they appear in cinema, the cuts allow to think about their reverberating character. The cuts are educational, making openings to consider the life and theory that happen around it. They are artistic, leading to proposals for productions of collective artistic works. A Cut Through the Screen: Struggles’ Reverberations in Cinema, is a continuation of a process that aims to use these openings to find connections and resonance.
