SUNSET SEDUCTION stars a liberal philanthropist yearning for his next fling with radical politics. Made as the Palestine solidarity movement escalated in 2024, the work unfolds in essayistic fragments considering ideas of freedom, violence, and the seductive capture of revolutionary ideology. SUNSET SEDUCTION is a personal, conceptual, and activist work that claims a film, contract, and discussion as its materials, together aiming to materialize the particular responsibilities of cultural workers in the global north.

Made as the Palestine solidarity movement escalated in 2024, the fi lm unfolds in essayistic fragments considering ideas of freedom, violence, and the seductive capture of revolutionary ideology. Nonprofi t organizations—even those driven by equity, decolonization, abolition—are tied to an unsustainable infrastructure that consistently creeps toward establishment liberalism. SUNSET SEDUCTION revitalizes the spirit of INCITE’s The Revolution Will Not Be Funded from 2007; emphasizes collective grassroots action in the popular imagination, which may include siphoning and subverting philanthropic resources, far beyond electoral politics and do-gooder grantmaking; and works through various forms of complicity.
