FREE ENTRY

Join us for a day of screenings celebrating Berger’s relationship with the moving image, curated by Gareth Evans (film curator Whitechapel Gallery), and in association with Whitstable Biennale.

This is a rare opportunity to see a selection of extraordinary and varied films, comprising Timothy Neat’s playful adaptation of Berger’s story, Play Me Something, featuring Tilda Swinton and Berger himself; Taskafa, Andrea Luca Zimmerman’s wonderful visual essay about Istanbul’s street dogs, which includes a voiceover of Berger reading extracts from his novel, King; two remarkable TV documentaries made with Ways of Seeing collaborator Mike Dibb; and Boat People, Sarah Woods’s rich meditation on migration and exile, commissioned by Whitstable Biennale.
