Total Refusal

The artist, researcher and filmmaker collective and pseudo-marxist media guerrilla Total Refusal (Susanna Flock, Adrian Haim, Jona Kleinlein, Robin Klengel, Leonhard Müllner, Michael Stumpf) appropriates contemporary video games and writes about games and politics. They upcycle the resources of mainstream video games, creating political narrations in the form of videos, interventions, live performances, lectures and workshops. 

Since its foundation in 2018, the group has received over 50 awards and honorary mentions, including the audience award at the Animateka Film Festival in Ljubljana and the European Film Award for best short film in 2023. Total Refusal’s work has been screened at over 250 film and art festivals, such as Berlinale, MoMA’s Doc Fortnight or the Oberhausen Film Festival, and exhibited at various exhibition spaces, like the Architecture Biennial Venice 2021, HEK Basel and Ars Electronica Linz. https://totalrefusal.com/
