In the current North American landscape of tough-on-crime policies and families boarding overnight buses to visit incarcerated loved ones in far away rural places, it’s difficult to imagine an open and healthy dialogue between society’s prisoners and the general public. But a new treasure trove of 1990’s VHS archives shows that this is exactly what happened between 1991 and 1995 at prisons in Kingston, Canada. It was achieved through a prisoner-made television show - produced and hosted by prisoners themselves.

OSJA
Irina Rubina / Short film
How can poetry be in opposition to a regime? To the regime that was born from big ideals but turned into firm structures driven by greed for power, destroying and exterminating fragile human lives. The tragic history of the poet Osip Mandelstam mixed with associative, defragmented sounds and images inspired by his poetry: a sensual and absurd experience through the lens of the past.
