Reminder: Screening Indigeneity Event (London, 23 May 11.00-17.00)

Dear colleagues,

Apologies for cross posting.

Just a quick reminder that the Menzies Centre for Australian Studies at King's College London is hosting a screening day devoted to the award-winning Australian documentary filmmaker, writer and teacher, Frances Calvert. This will involve a screening of her Torres Strait Trilogy: Talking Broken (1990, 76 mins), Cracks in the Mask (1997, 56 mins) and The Tombstone Opening (2012, 29 mins). These films focus on Australia’s ‘other’ Indigenous community, Torres Strait Islanders, as they negotiate the complex relationship between past, present and future. Each film will be followed by a Q&A with the director.

11.00-17.00 Monday 23 May 2016, Nash Lecture Theatre, Second Floor, King’s Building, Strand Campus, King’s College London WC2R 2LS

The event is free but booking is necessary via Eventbrite: https://calvert.eventbrite.co.uk. Lunch and light refreshments will be provided.

Kind regards,
