Four Fabulous Films At Academy
Don’t miss these four unforgettable films, screening at Academy Cinemas as part of turbulence: the 3rd Auckland Triennial.
This multi-venue exhibition features over 35 international artists who respond to the turbulent times in which we live.
Saturday
21 April
10am - From the Other Side (99 mins)
French
filmmaker Chantal Akerman records attitudes to Mexican
migration in a series of interviews on both sides of the US
border which reveal not only the physical but also the
psychological boundaries.
Midday - Soundtrack to War
(95mins)
George Gittoes follows the American-led invasion
of Iraq through music, from the testosterone-fuelled anthems
played in the tanks to raps written and performed by the
soldiers themselves.
Sunday 22 April
Midday
- Soundtrack to War (95mins)
2pm - Muxima (36mins) and
Border (27mins)
Alfredo Jaar’s haunting film is
structured around six different versions of the Angolan song
Muxima, or heart. Landmines have left one in every 330
people in the former Portugese colony an amputee.
Laura Waddington's documents attempts by refugees from France’s Sangatte camp to escape to England through the channel tunnel. Her poetic images capture the fear, terror and sense of limbo felt by those on the border.
