Art Gallery of New South Wales - States of mind film series

When a film narrative unfolds in an unconventional way, it echoes the confusion we often experience trying to comprehend the real world. Unreliable memories, vivid imaginations and subjective emotions demand we must piece together disparate fragments in order to understand even our own story. In conjunction with the 19th Biennale of Sydney: You Imagine What You Desire, this series of films dramatises the vagaries of memory and time, and explores the dream-like worlds of fantasy and uncertainty that occur when a person gets trapped in their own mind.

Screened using 35mm film prints borrowed from local and international archives.

Wednesdays 2pm & 7.15pm, Sundays 2pm
12 March - 4 June 2014
Free
