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

Save the date: On 7 May, we welcome Meriem Bennani to present and discuss her recently-completed speculative fiction trilogy Life on the CAPS. Set on a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, the highly imaginative short film series explores timely questions of migration, community, resilience, biotechnology, control and privacy in a future where teleportation has come to replace air travel.
