[Commlist] Off to take care - Celebrating the Many Facets of Care Work Through Film

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.
