Four unforgettable films this weekend

Don’t miss these four unforgettable films, screening at Academy Cinemas this weekend 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.
