[Reader-list] THOUGHTS ON FILMS

[Anjalika Sagar]

Dear All,

We're curating a programe on classic protest films from the 20th Century. Any thoughts about great short protest films that should definitely go in?  We have an international remit and would appreciate any advice on political /protest films especially made by women.
The films have to be short 30 minutes or less. We are putting a long list together right now. We have a list of about 40 films so far. 

ICO ESSENTIALS: AN INTRODUCTION TO ARTISTS’ FILM AND VIDEO
ESSENTIALS is a unique series of programmes presenting iconic works from 
the history of artists’ film and video. The series is designed as an 
exciting introduction for cinemas to the world of artists’ moving image 
its major themes. 

The intention behind Essentials is to present an accessible, well 
contextualised series that can be shown in a wide range of screening 
venues and introduce key artists, works, themes, movements and ideas to 
new audiences. Essentials will be a series of 6 national touring 
programmes. This will open at the Tate Modern next year.

OUR THEME IN BRIEF IS 

Politics, agit-prop, film essay, social intervention, agitation, documentation and exposing the 
unrepresented.


With Thanks in Advance
