Film: K1 - Oeconomia
A Film by Carmen Losmann, Petrolio Film GmbH / Deckert Distribution GmbH, 2020, 1:29 h
Our economic system has made itself invisible and eludes understanding. In recent years, we have often had little more than a diffuse and unsatisfactory feeling that something is going wrong. But what?
The documentary film OECONOMIA reveals the rules of the game of capitalism; an episodic narrative structure uncovers the fact that, paradoxically, the economy only grows when we are in debt, that profits are only possible when we are in debt.
Beyond the distanced phrases of media coverage, which ultimately make it impossible to understand the monstrous logic behind the basic structures of our everyday lives, OECONOMIA sets out with great poignancy and lucid stringency to break things down to the simple rules, to explain the capitalism of the present.
A zero-sum game is becoming recognisable, a game that places us and our entire world in the logic of an endless increase in capital – no matter the cost. This is a game that is being played to the point of total exhaustion and is perhaps nearing its end.
