Screening in the presence of director Vivian Ostrovsky 

‘An intimate – yet humorous – act of cultural resistance, the cinema of Vivian Ostrovsky is a gesture, involving the filmmaker’s entire body – as she travels around the world, carrying the gear and framing/gathering images with a Super-8 camera… An anti-travelogue of sorts, the program will take a viewer on a serendipitous voyage in time and space and history to include films from the early 80s to Ostrovsky’s more recent work.’ Bérénice Reynaud for Redcat
