Film Screening of “Underscore (_) Subguión”
6:30 PM
Jackman Hall, 317 Dundas Street West, McCaul Street entrance
This presentation is part of Images Festival.
We are pleased to present Mostrando Underscore (_) Subguión a video by Jorge Lozano that is an interview with Over.
A twin-screen portrait of a political activist in exile in Canada has the unnamed individual tell the story of the assassination attempt that forced him to go into hiding and then to flee his home. The details of the traumatic event are told with matter-of-fact precision, but names, places and dates have been removed to protect the subject. The combination of precision and abstraction lead us to reflect on the fact that the subject’s chilling story is indeed all too common, while the fact that he survived is not.
