To channel the momentum of an emerging movement of makers who embrace new approaches to filmmaking, the Temporary Program, Shadow Channel (2017-19), was launched. Shadow Channel is a utopian platform commissioning, streaming, and distributing counter-narratives created by underrepresented voices, in response to platform capitalism, post-truth politics and the rise of neo-fascism. Students of Shadow Channel operate as a renegade production studio, running a deep stream narrating the real, playing short-and-long-form documentaries, music, videos, and live feeds in the shadows of the Internet. Responding in real time to real-world issues, revealing and reflecting on the dominance of film and design, and the dread, desire and dizziness of freedom controlling the human condition.
