The Still Image and the Labour Process: An Agitka

Directed by Ailín Ó Dálaigh

The Still Image and the Labour Process: An Agitka is an experimental short film made in the style of a silent Soviet agitational-propaganda short (agitka). In proper Soviet, or perhaps Vertovian, fashion, it argues through intertitles and montage that the cinema is a weapon for destroying the commodifying effects of still photography.
