Looking at the space where fiction collides with the everyday, this programme comprises three films which each propose a composite reality drawn from both active and passive sources. In the case of Beatrice Gibson’s remarkable A Necessary Music, the division between fiction (in the form of a novel by Adolfo Bioy Casares, which influences the narrative) and various proposed realities become blurred until each informs the other.

Triangulum, by Brazilian artists Melissa Dullius and Gustavo Jahn, is more ostensibly a fantasy yet, in using the filmmakers also as actors and scriptwriters – devising the action through being in the film – similarly shows how the use of allegory and myth can help to reveal more about our world, particularly when used in a context which in some way includes the ‘real’, documentable world. It’s about the way we perceive it, certainly, but also about the extent to which we do perceive it.

Filmmakers Beatrice Gibson (A Necessary Music); and Melissa Dullius, Gustavo Jahn and Michel Balagué (Triangulum) will introduce their work.
