OFF TO TAKE CARE
Celebrating the Many Facets of Care Work Through Film
WED 15 - SUN 19 NOVEMBER, Goethe-Institut London & ICA
Taking place over 5 days, the mini festival OFF TO TAKE CARE brings together documentaries and fiction, films from different places and times to engage us in thinking about care and exploring it through cinema and vice versa.
Films range from Alice Diop's series opener, the calmly observational LA PERMANENCE (2016) about medical consultancies for refugees in Paris to Stephanie Rothman's feminist exploitation classic THE STUDENT NURSES (1970), from London filmmaker Ayo Akingbade's STREET 66 (2018) about a Ghanaian housing campaigner in Brixton to Gisela Tuchtenhagen's ground breaking HEIMKINDER (1984-86), documenting a rare experiment in social care in 1980s Germany and shown on 16mm at the ICA to close the season.
With more films by, amongst others, Djibril Diop Mambéty, Lucrecia Martel, Adriana Monti, and Abderrahmane Sissako, it is a dense programme that is meant to raise questions, to reflect anew on what care could mean and what it can do. And to connect people who do care, but probably in very different ways. The curators Annett Busch and Marie-Hélène Gutberlet will be present throughout and we invite you to be around as much as possible, too, so that conversations can continue, take turns or meander.
Join us for drinks and conversations on Saturday, 18 November after programme 4 and for an informal discussion in the round on Sunday 19 November after the final programme at the ICA.
