1984Film
Sophie Hunter co-directed an adaptation of George Orwell’s novel with a score composed by Estonian composer Mihkel Kerem and performed by the New European Ensemble. Shot on location, the film interweaves 1984 with the contemporary tale of Edward Snowden, who appears as himself via video link from Russia.

1984 merges film, literature, documentary, and music to create a visceral performance, raising urgent questions about technology, privacy and freedom. Has the dystopian society of 1984 already become reality, or can we still turn the tide?

"Increasingly we lose our seat at the table and our ability to steer the future and all of these processes begin from the corruption of language which was Orwell’s greatest fear” - Edward Snowden.
