ABOUT THE FILM
Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen's life story unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinating events.

Info: 53 minutes, 2016, semi-silent, English subtitled
WORKSHOP
The screening will be followed by a workshop facilitated by garptwo (they/them), a visual artist, image trader, soundscapist, and the half of kinomad, a strange free film club happening around London. Stop Motion Your Identity is an initiation to stop motion and self-exploration identity. The workshop will last 40 minutes. Due to limited space capacity, there are only 15 places available for the workshop.
⚠️ The workshop is accessible to people attending the screening.

FILM CLUB COLLECTIVE RAGE
collective rage is a monthly film club, by and for marginalised people, taking place at the Vagina Museum. collective rage aims to screen films from under-represented filmmakers and give the collective agency. Watching films is never a passive experience. collective rage film club is a form of cinema therapy, offering a safe space for personal expression and healing. Through workshops and activities led by artists, filmmakers, and social advocates, attendees are invited to engage, connect, and find solace in the power of storytelling.
Genesis
collective rage emerged from our own rage towards the current state of society and cinema. collective rage is thought of as a shape-shifter cinema experience, like the divinity Nǎga, a fluid creature oscillating between snake and human forms. Rage is powerful. Rage is beautiful. Together, let’s slough our rage into a joyful, positive embodiment.
