The screening includes The Last Responders (2026), a 50-minute documentary directed by Mohamed A. Gawad and created through a collaboration between Forensic Architecture and Earshot. The film examines an attack by the Israeli military using testimony, audio analysis, and spatial reconstruction. This is paired with Brian De Palma's 1981 thriller Blow Out, running at 1 hour and 47 minutes, which follows a sound recordist entangled in a political conspiracy after capturing evidence of a suspected murder.
