A diary of modern-day train robbery in Los Angeles. Short film (15min; 2024) directed and produced by the Destructionist International.

In 2021, freight train robberies grabbed headlines as images of tracks strewn with Amazon packages went viral. BREACHED recounts the events through the eyes of nearby worker, asking: what makes the freight container so sacred, and its breaching so scandalous?

Machines in Flames (2022, 50min) finds a secret history of self-destruction by following the footsteps of a clandestine group of French computer workers from the 1980s.

Machines in Flames presents a cinematic search for an elusive group - CLODO - that bombed computer companies in 1980s Toulouse, France. Journeying through the cybernetic nodes of military, industrial, and socialist development, the film exposes how recording devices fail to collect the ashes of history. The film combines archival traces, a viral desktop choreography, and paranoid footage of nocturnal stakeouts into a philosophical investigation of self-combustion.

Machines in Flames is the debut film of the Destructionist International, and the first in a series on the appetite for abolition in ultra-leftism.

Writing & production: Thomas Dekeyser & Andrew Culp. Music & VO: Dana Papachristou. More info at http://www.machinesinflames.com
