Total Runtime
curated by Reliable Copy
Total Runtime is a screening series curated by Reliable Copy, featuring videos by artists associated with the Bangalore-based publishing practice. The films are screened chronologically, oldest to most recent, with this simple rule acting as both a curatorial guide and framing device. Organised by a publishing house, Total Runtime frames video as an extension of publishing—as a format and medium which prioritises circulation and reproducibility.
As a series, Total Runtime responds to and emerges from invitation, transforming according to its venue and context. Its first iteration was hosted by Amant as part of its ‘For Your Reference’ programme on occasion of Reliable Copy’s residency in New York. The second iteration was hosted by Miss Read: The Berlin Art Book Fair, the third by Paperback Art Book Fair in Diriyah, and the fourth by Kerala Literature Festival, as part of their respective programmes.
