Hyperstition(2015)

Hyperstition is an experimental film exploring time, narrative, and speculative thought. Directed by Christopher Roth with philosopher Armen Avanessian, the work examines hyperstitional thinking—a concept that challenges how the present moment is constructed and controlled. The film investigates how cybernetic systems and governance structures attempt to eliminate contingency and unpredictability from human experience. Through daring conceptual interventions, Hyperstition questions the mechanisms that shape contemporary reality, blending philosophical inquiry with avant-garde cinema. It's a dense, intellectually rigorous meditation on how narratives and systems of control intersect, aimed at viewers interested in experimental filmmaking and critical theory.
