We would like to invite you all to our first film screening at the new location of the Sassoon Gallery, Peckham Rye on Monday the 5th of October at 7.30pm. We will be screening Toshio Matsumo’s 1969 film A Funeral Parade of Roses as the first in the series on the theme of Gender and Differentiation. Under this theme we hope to explore representations of gender, sexuality, sexual difference and categorization as well the nature of the presentation of the other. Not forgetting the importance of film as a medium in contributing to the selected archive of cultural knowledge.
The Series will consist of four films, one screened each Monday evening at 7.30. Alongside each series we hope to hold an event and discussion on relevant themes to be held at the end of each month. To give you a taster future series titles will be; 'Censorship in Eastern European Film,' 'Colonialism and Notions of the Post' and ‘Baroque and Further Symbolism.'
The nature of each event will be fairly open, featuring both artists and theorists in order to attempt to cover such wide-ranging topics. We will establish a cultural and critical hub for all that wish to participate. The initial thought being to establish something with intent in the critical and cultural realm, which will be a result of a contribution from all.
Hope to see you there.
Lydia and Rachel
