An edited version of Rosefeldt's installation work of the same name, Manifesto is an outstanding tribute to various (art) manifestos of the nineteenth and twentieth century, ranging from Communism to Dogme, in connection with thirteen different characters, including a homeless man, a factory worker and a corporate CEO, who are all played by Cate Blanchett. A striking humorous audio-visual experience.
In the United States, Manifesto streams on DocAlliance Films and Howdy, and it is free with ads on Kanopy, Hoopla, Fandango at Home Free, Pluto TV, Fawesome, and Tubi TV. You can rent or buy it from Apple TV Store, Google Play Movies, YouTube, Fandango At Home, and DocAlliance Films. It also streams in 113 other countries.
