Comrades of the Kino is a podcast about films, the histories that appear in them and the histories that they leave to discover. Each episode starts from an instance within a specific film, which then becomes a focal point for a set of questions: how is a particular space and time held and withheld by a scene, moment, detail, motif, sequence, place, gesture, language, rhythm or noise? Our approach examines how such instances reveal social and historical currents while simultaneously unsettling overarching narratives.
