Don't miss out on the UK premiere of the newly restored Hétpróba (Seven Trials) by neo-avant-garde artist Dóra Maurer, screening on 7 September at 18.30.

Hétpróba (Seven Trials) is an intimate portrayal of an opera singer and her four teenage children. Guided by Maurer's off-screen voice, each family member responds to a series of playful challenges, through which hidden, private tragedies are revealed. Although they appear individually in front of the camera for most of the film, Maurer employs a range of cinematic strategies as footage of each family member is dissected, repeated, reframed, halted, multiplied, and distorted through superimposition. Rarely screened, the film was digitised and translated by the National Hungarian Film Archive in 2021.

The screening will conclude with an in-conversation and Q&A with curator and academic Lina Dzuverovic.

This screening has been organised in collaboration with Open City Documentary Festival.

Don't miss out on Tate Film's outdoor summer programme!

In the evenings of Wed 12, Thursd 13 and Friday 14 July, visual artist Noémie Goudal and director Maëlle Poésy invite you to experience a multi-media installation of photo, video and performance. ANIMA asks viewers to reflect on the ‘sensation of time’ and the effects of climate change.

Taking place over 60 minutes, the piece features three large-scale moving image projections created by Goudal. This is alongside a unique live performance by aerial artist, choreographer and dancer Chloé Moglia, whose practice is based on suspension and weightlessness. The music for the piece will be scored by DJ Chloé Thévenin.

The performance is based on Goudal’s work Post Atlantica, which takes the audience on a journey through Earth’s landscapes. It’s inspired by scientist James Lovelock’s ‘Gaia’ theory which says all living organisms and their environment on Earth are interconnected.

Grab your free ticket and join us at the Starr cinema for this month's Tate Modern Late.

Artist Virginia L. Montgomery (VLM) join us to present a programme of four of her synthesia-esque, surrealist works: BUTTERFLY BIRTH BED, O LUNA, CUT COPY SPHINX and HONEY MOON.

BUTTERFLY BIRTH BED is a metaphysical art film about hope. Inspired by 'The Butterfly Effect'—the philosophical theorem that any small change in our environment, even the gentle flapping of a butterfly's wings may manifest big climatic change—the film documents the ethereal emergence of live butterflies over storm imagery contained in a butterfly-scale Shaker bed. Collectively, BUTTERFLY BIRTH BED's symbolism and elemental soundscape facilitate a surreal incantation for healing, hope, and recovery.

Location: Starr Cinema, Natalie Bell Building, Level 1
Times: 20.30–21.00 and 21.15–21.45
Requires a free ticket, available to collect from the Starr Cinema on a first-come, first-served basis from 18.00

The programme brings together works by Maya Deren, Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and Madison Bycroft. Inspired by Magdalena Abakanowicz’s forest of sculptures and by Maya Deren’s unfinished, experimental film, the programme proposes a new take on the archetype of the witch. The three films, The Witch's Cradle by Maya Deren, Spit on the Broom by Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich and The Fouled Compass by Madison Bycroft, explore alternative histories of underground or clandestine women-led practices. The works will be accompanied by a number of short readings by female artists and writers engaging with the occult.

We've doubled up October's screenings with two special presentations in the Starr Cinema on 7 and 8 October exploring entanglements of social and environmental injustice.

On 7 October, we'll be hosting artist Alia Farid who will introduce and discuss her new short film Chibayish (2022), which examines how nature in southern Iraq has, since the advent of modernity, been mobilised as a political tool. The film is presented alongside her earlier work At the Time of the Ebb (2019), which follows the annual celebration of Nowruz Sayadeen (Fisherman’s New Year), one of the few surviving traditions tuned to seasonal cycles on Iran's Qeshm island.

On 8 October, artist Ali Cherri joins us to present the UK premiere of The Dam (2022) in a special screening of his full Telluric Trilogy:
The Disquiet (2013) approaches the Lebanon's geologic and seismic situation as a metaphor for the continuous outbursts of violence which have marked the broader region
The Digger (2015) focuses on the daily caretaking rituals of the custodian of a neolithic necropolis in a desert in the United Arab Emirates
The Dam (2022) follows the steps of a Sudanese brick-maker as he secretly wanders off into the desert and starts constructing a mysterious mud tower while the Sudanese people rise to claim their freedom.

‘Watching these punk paeans, I am transfixed by the unfolding mysteries captured and then blinkered away by [Bromberg’s] camera—from a close-up of stiletto heels strutting like an exquisite co**se, to a snake curling luxuriously in front of a window flooded with late afternoon sun.’ – Ara Osterweil
