About Plokta

Plokta film festival took its name from the New Hackers Dictionary. Plokta is the acronym for Press Lots of Keys to Abort. It’s what users do when their machine crashes, slows, breaks down. In frustration they start trying out random new actions. The keyboard gets a beating.

Plokta is always on the lookout for new artists, thinkers, organizations, program makers, journalists, and cinemas who would like to join us in our mission. If you’ve got ideas, if you’d like to help us open up discussions about society and technology—let us know!
