Abstract

As a niche genre within the yet-to-be-systematized film landscape, anti-corporate films serve the purpose of exposing and critiquing the prevailing inequities in society, particularly the exploitation of capital on the masses. These films often revolve around narratives of capital oppressing human rights and the struggles of ordinary individuals attempting to rebel against colossal corporations. They provide a platform for denunciation and irony aimed at the prevailing dominance of capital. The debate between irony and nostalgia is continuous within this context, yet both evoke unexpected dual emotions and agency. Nostalgia in anti-corporate films explicitly presents an inappropriate present juxtaposed with an idealized past as binary spatial symbols, ultimately portraying a utopian vision of the future.
