Shifting between experimentation and mistranslation, transparency and legibility, these films interrogate modes of speaking and listening. Here, access is a practice: negotiated in dialogue, shaped by communications technology and examined intimately. Crossed wires, soap-opera fragments, military exercises, and captioning labour collide, as lip-reading becomes a mode of resistance and play.
Mascara Film Club will be joined by artists for a post-screening discussion.
All films in this programme include descriptive subtitles. BSL interpretation will be provided for the introduction and panel discussion.
