La Commune (Paris, 1871) is streaming from 28 to 30 May via ALT/KINO. While anarchism is notoriously difficult to define, it is, broadly speaking, a leftist orientation that rejects the hierarchical impulses of both capitalism and Soviet-style communism in favour of a decentralised form of direct action and mutual aid. Many viewers no doubt associate ‘anarchist cinema’ with well-meaning if stodgy biopics of anarchist heroes and martyrs (such as Giuliano Montaldo’s Sacco & Vanzetti, 1971); but it’s arguable that the aesthetically audacious films of non-anarchist directors such as Luis Buñuel and Elio Petri are actually more effective tributes to anarchism’s rebellious spirit.
