belit sağ: through an empathic lens

Date: Aug 11, 2024 7:30PM
Location: 2220 Arts + Archives

Filmforum is honored to host filmmaker belit sağ in person from Amsterdam for her first single artist show in Los Angeles! Keenly challenging our sometimes jaded expectations of political filmmaking, belit sağ’s video work is remarkable and vital for its complex emotionality, deep engagement, and thoughtful, purposeful manipulation of the moving image. Through her subtle and varying interventions, she brings targets such as censorship, racism, corruption, fascism, oppression, and state-sanctioned violence into sharp and unexpectedly sensitive focus.
