In this episode of The MDC Talks, we talk with Douglas Rosenberg; writer, theorist and artist working at the intersection of performance, media and object-making. Currently Professor of Art at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and an award winning filmmaker whose work for the screen has been exhibited internationally for over 30 years.

Omari and Doug connected many years ago at LightMoves Festival in 2014 and he has since become a mentor and friend. We discuss Doug's desire for more critical writing about screendance, the godmother of experimental cinema, platform determinism, how the award culture of the industry is fuelling a specific type of work and more!
