RESISTANCE (prologue) is a new short film produced, directed and edited by M. Asli Dukan (#muthaofdamatrix) that debuts in April 2017. In this prologue episode of the Resistance web series, a stealthy hacker attempts to dismantle the surveillance tools used by the police to control her community after she learns that two young activists have been tracked down and brutally beaten by riot cops in their dystopian, near-future, West Philadelphia neighborhood.
Inspired by films like Mamoru Oshii’s Avalon, Lizzie Borden’s Born in Flames and Gillo Pontecorvo’s The Battle of Algiers, the series will use the genres of speculative fiction to tell a historically rich and dramatically complex story about the search for justice and liberation. In addition, the series will also primarily collaborate with Philadelphia based actors, artists, musicians and media makers, as well as with the West Philadelphia community to bring the world of the RESISTANCE to life.
