Om avsnittet
Through the entry of documentary filmmaker and composer Michel Wenzer into the Dissident Club, we have created a new way of presenting material. We hope to leave a bigger impression through “orienteringsfilm” in questions of importance than what comes out in regular forms of podcasting and to find a wider audience. First out is “The Unthinkable”. See press release below. Swedish subtitles are available in the film. You can find Michel Wenzer’s original text on his Substack here. PRESS RELEASE THE UNTHINKABLEOrienteringsfilm — 40 minutes Dissidentmedia proudly presents a new form of communication — orienteringsfilm — a way to elevate political essays to a higher poetic level with a musical score and hightening visuals to open pathways in a landscape increasingly hostile to complexity. First out is The Unthinkable — a 40-minute orienteringsfilm examining the Western narrative around the war in Ukraine through the lens of Operation Unthinkable, the British plan from May 1945 to impose the will of the United States and British Empire upon Russia, by reducing its war-making capacity to no longer pose a threat to Western hegemony. Narrated by Håkan Julander, with music and sound design by Michel Wenzer, The Unthinkable traces a strategic logic from the Great Game of the 19th century through WW2 to the present. The work asks a simple question: what are we no longer allowed to think? The Unthinkable is available in Swedish and English audio and subtexts in English and Swedish. Michel Wenzer is a Swedish filmmaker and composer, known for the Guldbagge-nominated documentary At Night I Fly (2011) and recipient of the Jan Fridegårdspriset.
