Screening of RITUAL, an experimental documentary on energy greed by Vague Research Studios at Hagabion, Öppen Salong. With an interesting talk moderated by film producer Beatrice P Garcia. Questions to ponder… is RITUAL a time capsule? Will the film be shown in schools in the future? Will ”Data centers” be our municipalities in the future? The event was a collaboration with Folkets bio/Hagabion, ABF-Göteborg and Vague Research Studios. The film RITUAL was funded by Kulturbryggan.

Vague Research Studios (artists Kajsa G Eriksson, Lena Berglin and Maria Magnusson)The film explores energy greed as a social phenomenon, ritual as an artistic method, and has been filmed in eleven places in Sweden: Burseryd, Kinnekulle, Sandviken, Hofors, Grängesberg, Njakafjäll, Meselefors, Kallak, Ligga, Messaure, and Jokkmokk. In the selected localities, there exists a historical connection to the extraction of raw materials needed to produce energy. This history is relevant today as we transition to green energy and to the use of renewable raw source materials. The artists have specifically chosen to highlight how urban lifestyles are dependent on the natural environment and people in sparsely populated communities in Sweden.
