On March 20 at 19:00, Arc Space London will host a performative conversation between filmmaker Masha Godovannaya and film curator Kirа Adibekov (Armenian Film Society London).

The event will be accompanied by a screening of video works by Godovannaya, offering audiences an opportunity to engage with the filmmaker’s artistic practice through both discussion and moving-image works. 

Experimental filmmaker, queer-feminist researcher, curator, and educator Masha Godovannaya reflects on her artistic practice and its many connections. Bridging New York’s underground — through the diaristic experiments of Jonas Mekas and the queer poetry of Eileen Myles — with the aesthetic resistance of Leningrad/Saint Petersburg, she weaves together legacies of Eisenstein, Kenneth Anger, and Necrorealism. Working across artistic research, montage, found footage, city symphony, poetry, and collective action, she mobilises these forms for her own ends — without ever fully settling into any single one of them.
