Difference Screen

Film screening of international artists' film and video

In association with Ongkar Centre for Creative Arts

TRP Road, Jorhat, Assam

Venue: Jorhat Science Centre Auditorium

14 and 15 November 2015

Difference Screen is a collection of videos talking about changing landscapes, identity and culture in the contemporary world. There are films from all over the world and some were filmed earlier too, but the essence is one of a world in flux.

The films were screened first in the UK where Margaret Thatcher had closed and devastated coal mining during her tenure. An ancient iron mine was the first venue for the screening. Bruce Allan curated the films along with Ben Eastop and has been travelling with the collection for the past few years. After the UK the films were shown in Mongolia. That gives an idea of how the curators are envisioning their audience in a much broader sense than what we usually see.

At Jorhat Science Centre, Assam 14/15.11.15
