Plane of Losers, Episode 1: a live documentary performance by Keith Wilson
16:00 - 16:50 Wednesday 18th Mar 2026 / 50 min
How is art diminished by the notion that it can be "won"? Plane of Losers is a live cinema performance exploring the financial, emotional, and social costs of documentary awards campaigns.
Blending behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and live performance, the piece juxtaposes public spectacle with the private anxiety of filmmakers caught in the “awards-industrial complex.” Offering a humorous yet necessary course correction, this bold work proposes models rooted in sustainability rather than the pursuit of votes and statues.
