SUMMARY:Watch Party: The Cancer Journals Revisited
DESCRIPTION:The Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of filmmaker Lana Lin\, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010\, twenty-seven writers\, artists\, activists\, health care advocates\, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera\, collectively dramatising it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicised public sphere of illness. \nFollowed by a Q&A with director Lana Lin hosted by Anahit Behrooz. Anahit is an arts journalist based in Edinburgh\, currently working as events editor at The Skinny and commissioning editor at Bella Caledonia\, with bylines in The List\, Girls on Tops\, and Club des Femmes among others. Presented in partnership with Scottish Documentary Institute. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are on a sliding scale of FREE\, £2\, £4\, £6\, or £8.
