Event
Film Socialisme—Jean-Luc Godard
Tuesday 20th May, 6:30 pm
Film Socialisme by Jean-Luc Godard. 102 minutes, France, 2010, Colour, DCP
Godard takes an experimental approach to narrative, montage, screen text, editing and digital formats in this epic three part film. Starting on board the ill-fated cruise ship Concordia, and moving across multiple locations, Film Socialisme explores themes such as globalisation, history, war, culture, and circulation of capital (gold). It also sees Godard, as James S Williams describes, ‘on the offensive with a violent experimental drive and urgency’. The film has a strong engagement with cinema's photographic legacy, the physical camera apparatus, and the play between still and moving image. Curated by artist and lecturer Cliona Harmey, this screening takes place in conjunction with the EFC and her recent exhibition ‘Troposphere’ at Pallas Projects.
The EFC is a curated screening event conceived as a forum for diverse artistic and experimental film works. For more details see Experimental Film Club
