ONWARD! 70th annual Flaherty Film Seminar Film screening and Discussion

    Activity: Other activity types › Public engagement and outreach - public lecture/debate/seminar

    Description

    This special event presented William Greaves’ iconic work of cinéma vérité ​Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One (1971) alongside Grace Ndiritu​’s hallucinatory ​Black Beauty (2021). Both films explored the boundaries of the documentary form through various levels of cinematic reality and fictions.

    The screening was followed by an hour long discussion where the audience was invited to consider the films together.

    This programme was devised to coincide with Grace Ndiritu’s exhibition Compassionate Rebels in Action (part of The Ignorant Art School) at Cooper Gallery.
