Other/Cinema.Screening series
|
Critical Cinema Lab organizes the film screening & discussion series OTHER/CINEMA. OTHER/CINEMA deals with the theme of Other from a variety of perspectives, relating to marginalized themes, topics, forms or distribution markets. The series explores the ways films can connect to the acute debates by inviting different artists, specialists and active members of society to watch films and share a space for discussion, by talking and listening to others.
The first edition of the OTHER/CINEMA series looks into alternative ways of representing the narratives of the Middle East. Currently, when the divisions between 'Us' as 'Them' are aggressively drawn, we want to invite films, filmmakers and everyone interested in sharing thoughts and experiences to join a space for debate beyond this polarized and politicized context. 28.9. 2017 18-21 Stage Aalto Studio.
