A dream of many years has come true: I had a hand in curating this programme on Serge Daney for the ICA, in conjunction with the dossier we produced on SD with @Sabzianbe.
Serge Daney (1944–1992), called "the end of criticism" by Godard, remains a towering voice in film thought. In partnership with Sabzian journal, we present 12 films reflecting his cinephilic, internationalist vision. 📅 27 Aug – 7 Sep.🎟️ Films & tickets:

Favorite first-time viewings of June 2025:. Near Orouët (1971).Love Affair(s) (2020).The Hitch-Hiker (1953).Slightly Scarlet (1956).Sabotage (1936). I'm not including the Bologna discoveries, since I did a separate list for those.
