Sorcha Dallas

A screening of five short films, selected by five different people, accompanied by twenty-five short texts about the films. The contributors and their chosen films are:

Richard Birkett - ‘Disgrace’ by Kate Davis Vanessa Desclaux - ‘The hand is quicker than the eye’ by Yael Davids Mike Sperlinger - ‘Necrology’ by Standish Lawder Cally Spooner - ‘Not I’ by Samuel Beckett Marina Vishmidt - ‘Sonnet’ by Lili Dujourie

Each person has been invited to select a film up to 15 minutes long and to write a few reflections on all five films; these texts will be printed out and presented in the space alongside the screening.

The short texts, twenty-five in total (five from each participant) are not intended to be comprehensive accounts, rather indicators of ways of looking at and thinking about the same films, reflecting the writers’ shared or differing interpretations and points of reference.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. The screening will begin at 7:00 p.m.

Total running time will be approximately 1 hour with a short interval half-way through. After the screening there will be an opportunity to talk with the participants.

Drinks will be available.
