For Session 36, Kriss Li presents Abolition Film Society V1, a video program initially commissioned for the CFMDC’s symposium called The Breadth Of. In this context, Kriss Li chose five works based on the interests of five incarcerated participants, who then wrote responses for the filmmakers.

Accompanying a screening of these films, Kriss Li will discuss the particularities of the prison system’s imposed restrictions on communication, the underwritten politics thereof, and the experiences shared by each of the incarcerated participants.
