*Minor Compositions Podcast Episode 42 We Are Making a Podcast About 
Mark Fisher <https://youtu.be/ca7xyx11BIM>*


In this episode, we speak with artists Sophie Mellor and Simon Poulter 
of Close and Remote about their sprawling, collaborative, and 
genre-bending project We Are Making a Film About Mark Fisher. The 
conversation traces the origins of the film: how an initial spark in 
Fisher’s writing grew into a hybrid work that fuses documentary, 
performance, collective creativity, and hauntological fiction. We 
explore how Close and Remote approached the challenge of translating 
hauntology into visual and cinematic language: the textures of lost 
futures, the atmospheres of cultural stagnation, and the ghosts that 
structure the present. With over seventy contributors and much of the 
production unfolding openly on Instagram, the film became an experiment 
in distributed authorship and decapitalised making. Mellor and Poulter 
reflect on how this process worked in practice: the unexpected turns, 
the moments of productive chaos, and the ways the networked 
contributions reshaped the project’s trajectory. They consider, too, how 
Fisher himself might have responded to such a mode of production, and 
the tensions inherent in staging anti-capitalist creative work on 
corporate platforms.
