Total event time: c180min

Join us for the premiere of these artists’ films which explore queer notions of love, affection, and community – and how to resist attempts to restrict definitions of our romantic drives. Produced as part of a unique project (funded by Wellcome Trust, delivered by BFI and no.w.here, in collaboration with King’s College London) the films mobilise images of petri dishes and orgies – and a Disney Princess – to examine how biomedical science (as well as the state, media and popular cinema) accounts for love. The screening interspersed with stimulating conversation, considering science not only as a historically conservative force, but also contemplating the exciting potential of a radical, queer’d science. Featuring film stock that has been (literally) treated with hormonal chemicals, mind-blowing double projection, and one special expanded performance piece, this screening should not be missed.
