MASTER CLASS "Anarchist Practices of Filmmaking?" with MARWA ARSANIOS

February 9-12, 2026

How can we organize ourselves in order to produce a collective short film? Building on examples of collective filmmaking and using anarchist methods of organizing we will use the four days of the masterclass to learn from a process of working together in order to produce a rough cut for a potential film.
A self-organized process will be put in place, and it will explore ideas of decentralization, role rotation and collective writing.

Marwa Arsanios’ practice tackles structural questions using different devices, forms and strategies. From architectural spaces, their transformation and adaptability throughout a civil war, to artist-run spaces and temporary conventions between communes and cooperatives, the practice tends to make space within and parallel to existing art structures allowing experimentation with different forms of assemblies. Film becomes another device and space for connecting struggles through images and montage.
In the past nine years Arsanios has been attempting to think about these questions from a new materialist and a historical materialist perspective with different feminist movements that are in a struggle for taking back their land. She tries to look at questions of property, law, economy and ecology from specific plots of land, while focusing on the histories of the commons in the levant region. She has been part of artist collectives and initiatives, the most recent being the legal communalisation of a land in the North Lebanon through its transformation to a Mashaa.
