Summaries

END-TIME Part 01 is a film that questions the concept of 'Apocalypse' and how it is manifested in contemporary culture. The film takes the form of an essay documentary and investigates the relationship between socio-political events and cultural anxieties and how they reflect and inform current and past cultural practices concerned with an apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic subject matter. The film examines apocalyptic themes arising from Utopian literature, Blockbuster Hollywood movies, the work of John Martin and a number of current socio-political events in the western world such as the Occupy movement, Banking crisis and American fundamentalist religion. The film features interviews from Will Self (Writer), Matthew Beaumont (Head of English at UCL) and Martin Myrone (Tate Curator).—Anonymous
