IMMORTALITY
When
Sat 18 July
1–2.30pm
Marissa Marcel was going to be a star. Hand-picked from obscurity and thrust into the spotlight, she made three films. But they were never released, and she disappeared.
Now you trawl through the archive, travelling from scene to scene via match cuts, grasping at outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews and ... wait, what was that?
Join us in person for this session of ACMI's Women, Trans and Gender Diverse Gamers Club as we play through Sam Barlow's (Her Story) cinematic FMV masterpiece together on the big screen.
Content warning: players are warned that the film footage collected within IMMORTALITY contains subject matter that may be upsetting, including strong curse words, blasphemy regarding the Catholic faith, sudden and surprising visual cuts and sound events, alcohol, cigarette and drug use, abusive relationships, nudity, sex, blood and wounding, suicide, sexual assault, murder (asphyxia, knife and firearm).
