Cult of Compliance combines original cityscape footage of tech-era San Francisco with archival film, including materials from a ubiquitous SF clothing brand's worldwide sweatshops, and the epic struggles of organisms from an educational treasury. The film is an exploration of the conditions our institutions currently demand - irreconcilable struggle between systems and people in late capitalism. Presented in mismatched stereoscope, the film invites viewers to immerse in an affective cinema that is at once pleasurable but also impossible to resolve. The original sound composition was designed by Los Angeles audio artist Kiri Lewallen.

Filmmaker: Greta Snider
