| Event Name: | Perestroika - film |
| Description: | An autobiographical documentary, a fiction that’s also an essay and an extended poetic meditation on the ability of the image to represent experience. Sarah Turner’s film is a ghost story that explores what we forget and how we remember. The stunning imagery comes solely from the window of the Trans-Siberian train, shot first in 1988 and then again in 2008, and culminating at the haunting expanse of Lake Baikal, the deepest lake in the world. |
| Type of Event: | Films - Movies |
| Event Agenda: | To celebrate the release of Perestroika there will be a special panel discussion on 1 September following the screening which will explore how artists’ film engages with cinematic conventions, both as an aesthetic practice and a spatial experience. Speakers include Sarah Turner, film critic Chris Darke, writer and curator Maxa Zoller and ICA associate programmer David Thorp. |
