Join us on e-flux Video & Film for an online screening of Beatriz Santiago Muñoz’s Other Uses (2014), on view from Friday, August 28 through Thursday, September 10, 2020.

The old fuel dock of Roosevelt Roads, a decommissioned US Naval Base of in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, is a mile-and-a-half-long structure once used to service battleships, and now appropriated by local fishermen as an extended shoreline. On one side of the dock is a view of the Island of Vieques, and on the other, of Vieques Sound—a passage that connects the Caribbean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. The film is shot through reflective objects of Santiago Muñoz’s making, a formal experiment that enables the film to transform and collapse the monumentality of the view—taking its cue from the fishermen’s own transformations of the military base, its uses and meaning.

Other Uses is presented here as one of four films in Part Two | War Machines and Environmental Memories, the second of six programs in the online film and discussion series Ecology After Nature: Industries, Communities, and Environmental Memory programmed by Lukas Brasiskis for e-flux Video & Film.

Ecology After Nature runs from August 14 through November 8, 2020. The films in Part Two will screen for two weeks, and subsequent parts will follow bi-weekly, with new films screened every other Sunday.
