Through A Glass, Darkly(M+ Screenings: This is Now)

Provocative filmmakers in the early 1980s pursued occult interests, treating the moving image like a mirror or a crystal ball: a surface of divination to remap perception and question distinctions between what is and what might be, the objective and the subjective, the body and the mind. The programme includes challenging, transgressive work originally connected to the industrial scene.
