The Smiling Star (Schroeter, 1983): ICA Cinema, 6.30pm
This screening is part of the season at the ICA Cinema devoted to Werner Schroeter. You can finds all the details here.
One of the most caustic and personal essay films ever made, Werner Schroeter’s account of the 1983 Manila Film Festival, presided over by Imelda Marcos, chronicles the legacy of American and Spanish imperialism as it presents a “kaleidoscope of a ravaged country.” A lamentation on power and spectacle.
