Triple Canopy Presents: In The Hole

Series Site

Curated by Yasmina Price

Cinema is full of holes. The medium was, after all, born through the aperture of a camera and recorded on punctured strips of celluloid. Bodies are also full of cavities, which filmmakers from the French and Italian auteurs of the seventies to contemporary queer artists have used to probe themes of embodiment, sexuality, perversion, and pleasure. As historical portals, holes also take shape in films that reckon with war, trauma, environmental destruction, and collective memory. Guest-curated by Yasmina Price, this deep collection of cinematic openings and absences marks our fourth collaboration with the ever-fascinating and always subversive Triple Canopy.
