Docs Ireland: We Are Making a Film About Mark Fisher
Docs Ireland presents We Are Making a Film About Mark Fisher (2026).
A film made with no budget, no studio backing and no institutional permissions, exploring solidarity, shared labour and digital connectivity.
What if we held a protest and everyone came?
This documentary explores solidarity, shared labour and digital connectivity. It enacts what Fisher insisted was still possible – decapitalised cultural production, collective agency among the ruins of neoliberal atomisation. A reminder that DIY doesn’t mean private – it means working together.
The film is not nostalgia. Fisher warned against that. It is an evocation of failed promised futures. And in doing so, it becomes a kind of working group for collective dreaming – a counter to the doom scroll machine of capitalist realism. All about the people who connected in some way.
