Join us for a double feature of two films, Irani Bag کیف ایرانی by Maryam Tafakory (2021) and Onibaba by Kaneto Shindō (1964), that traverse prohibition, agency, and zones of fantasy that offer access to alternative narratives.
Presented by The Physics Room in conjunction with Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū, these films have been selected by artist Ilish Thomas as reference points for her current exhibition The Crystal Palace.
Ilish will provide a brief introduction to these two films on the night.
