Jeffrey’s Cinema #35

Voor de tweede screening in relatie tot Mikolaj Sobczak’s tentoonstelling koos Jeffrey een surprise film die perfect aansluit op de thema’s van Prophet Machine.

 

“This 90 minute surprise movie is a confrontational, sharp and intelligent essay-film about trans and non-binary minorities. Each person that is depicted is on their own journey, and is yet also collective. In some ways, the movie is about the fiction of reality, and the reality of fiction – both for the specific individuals we follow in the film, but also for our society at large… where gender distinctions of masculine and feminine can be understood as fictions.

 

This flick is a confluence of different sources… literary, sociological, medical, philosophical, poetic. Its non-binary exploration reflects the transitory nature of the film… its structure is free-flowing and open… conjuring up its own hybrid form. A complex and thought-provoking movie about counter-culture and imagination that is also light as a breeze.”
