Power is not only something that sits outside of us, or above us. It is also something we absorb, carry, reproduce, and at times resist.
The Sandpit Collective returns, meditating on power, with a programme of Palestinian and Iranian short films, both animated and live-action, to mark the closing of their Mirrors for Princes season. This season approaches cinema as a space to examine how power operates and shapes behaviour, perception, and feeling.
Partnering also with the University of Sussex, this event has been developed in collaboration with students from the BA Liberal Arts course, who have been involved throughout, from shaping the selection to helping organise and run the event.
Come and immerse your senses in rose and saffron (yes, tea and cake!) and be part of this incredibly inspiring, super cosy evening.
It will begin with a brief contextual introduction to the shorts, followed by a collective collage session to respond to and reflect on the films. Selected works will feature in the collective zine centred around the Mirrors for Princes season. Since this is the closing event, don’t miss the opportunity to be part of it.
