A series of screenings and discussions on ecology, environment and cinema

This three-part program aims to explore anxieties surrounding human-animal relations, as depicted in 20th-century genre-fiction movies. We will watch and discuss three films together, each selected to represent specific anxieties expressed through cinema, either directly or metaphorically. Each session is open to all students, staff, graduates and friends of Sandberg and Rietveld.

In our first screening, Becoming-Animal: The Fly (1986), we delve into the age-old fear of bodily transformation, exploring what it means to imagine ourselves devolving into lowly beasts.

Becoming-Animal: The Fly (1986)
Dir. David Cronenberg
Friday 23rd Feb, 14:30—17:00

Organised by Callum Copley, Sandberg alumnus and assistant researcher.
