The film was staged in a creaky, wooden floored Parisian recording studio at the inaugural three-day ‘forum of ideas’, focusing on the manifold possibilities of resistance (the title of Jean-François Lyotard’s unrealised follow-up exhibition to his 1983 Les Immateriaux). Russell and Rivers document a philosophical discussion between Jean-Luc Nancy, Elizabeth Povinelli, Gayatri Spivak, Étienne Balibar among other artists and thinkers, which slowly becomes The Rare Event—a portal into another time-space altogether.
