Scene Takeover considers how film and television genres can take over our thoughts and even subliminally dictate how we act in the real world. But it also explores how we can act against expectations, become parasites, and inhabit worlds not necessarily designed for us.
Featuring Isabelle Tollenaere, The Remembered Film (2018); Ghita Skali, The Invaders (2021); Shireen Seno, Shotgun Tuding (2014); Pilvi Takala, The Stroker (2018).
