View Film

This webpage provides an introduction to the film initiative through short excerpts of the featured conversants. Frequent updates and behind-the-scenes commentary offer an intimate portrait onto the project, its participants, and the critical perspectives it elicits.

These philosophers and practitioners have been invited to speak to Immanuel Kant's text and expand upon the issues it raises in relationship to their own varied practices. Segments have been filmed against backdrops that resonate with the themes invoked by their discourse, including monuments commemorating war, deprivation, and collective memory, as well as institutional spaces of policy and international diplomacy.


The film is directed by Laura Hanna of Hidden Driver Productions, Alexandra Lerman of ScibeMedia Arts Culture, and Aaron Levy of the Slought Foundation. The Executive Producer is Gregg Lambert of the Syracuse University Humanities Center. Technology and technical assistance has been generously provided by ScribeLabs.
