Sunday 30 March 2008, 15.00

An afternoon of films exploring the relationships between text, sound and image. Renowned artist Christian Boltanski’s early film examines the loneliness of a working-class mother, referring both to Anne Frank’s diary, and to the human condition under capitalism. Jean-Luc Godard offers a characteristically intricate and thought-provoking reflection on time and cinema’s relation to history.
