Matt speaks to the artist Dina Kelberman about her 2019 film ‘The Goal is to Live’.
The feature length film is made entirely of clips from the Canadian TV series ‘How It’s Made’, and we discuss the process of making the film, including the soundtrack made by musicians Rod Hamilton & Tiffany Seal. We also geek out about ‘How It’s Made’ more generally, and talk about its relationship to the capitalist production processes it purports to explain.
