Beyond Resolution is a touring program of short films by Sabine Gruffat. This series of films favors ambiguity and resists resolution. The nearer the gaze, the more obscure the view. Illegibility here is not an escape from politics, but a way of inhabiting it differently: as a site of tension, friction, and possibility. These films draw from a range of genres and layered techniques. Images are processed to draw attention to the hidden logics in software, hardware, and materiality.

Introduction by guest programmer, writer, and independent filmmaker Chris Kennedy.

On 31 March and 1 April, Image Forum Cinémathèque (Tokyo) will screen four films under the title ‘An Introduction to 8mm Film in 2026’, including the final work of Yoichiro Serizawa, who sadly passed away last year.
