(Dispatches From a Simulated Warzone)

Content: This film investigates the serious play of historical reenactments and their quest to tap into what has been referred to as “magic moments” or “period rushes." These brief flashes are moments of embodied, performance-induced spatial and temporal blurring that allow the reenactor to feel as if they are within the place and time that they are portraying. How might these living history events act as reverent rituals to evoke and honor the memory of constructed socio-political ancestors?
