Screening of ‘Aphonia’ by Sophie Hoyle, ‘Portland Forecast’ by Seo Hye Lee, and ‘I can fit a fist in my mouth’ by Mathew Wayne Parkin

5–6pm; 6–8pm

Grand Union

A landscape film still featuring a close up shot of slightly parted lips, through which shiny white teeth can be seen. At the centre of the frame, bold turquoise text reads 'discipline'.

Join us for a screening of three artists films – ‘Aphonia’ by Sophie Hoyle, ‘Portland Forecast’ by Seo Hye Lee, and ‘I can fit a fist in my mouth’ by Mathew Wayne Parkin.

We bring these three films together as an exploration of the nuances of communication, thinking through how language is translated across the screen, as well as between people, landscapes and timeslips, from one subjectivity to another. Each, in its own way, is a reflection on the agency of language and asks, if there can be resistance in language or its opposite?

Each film has integrated captioning and audio description.

We’ll be open 6–8pm for a regular First Friday opening, so stop by, watch the films, and join us for a drink. Or if busy First Friday’s aren’t your thing, we’ll also be open 5–6pm for a quiet opening and screening round of the films.

The three films together have a run time of 60 minutes.
