A conference inspired by filmmaker Adam Curtis is coming to Freemasons' Hall in Bournemouth this September.
The Adam Curtis Party Conference will take place on Saturday 12 September, marking 10 years since HyperNormalisation, his film about governments, financiers and technological utopians building a fake world to maintain power.
It will also ask whether alternatives to the way people live today feel any closer, with organisers planning talks, debate and performance around politics, media, mass movements and lost futures.
Co organiser Brian Jenner said Curtis's work crosses political divides, adding that the Bournemouth event aims to mix politics with “dance, humour and surrealism” to change how people think about politics.
The programme includes Izabella Kaminska on Russia, Tobias Ellwood on World War Three, Paul Mason on the history of communism, Joanna Moncrieff on medicalisation and Charlie Waterhouse on Extinction Rebellion.
Pavel Otdelnov and Pierre d'Alancaisez are also scheduled, alongside an Adam Curtis Disco, while Curtis said it “genuinely made me laugh” and called Bournemouth “a very good location choice” too.
