Filmmaker Nicolás Pereda in person for a post-screening discussion will be moderated by Jason Livingston, filmmaker and teacher at the University of Iowa.
Screening co-presented with the Brooklyn Institute for Social Research.
Women’s work is often associated with the home, in the activities of housekeeping, childrearing, and the affective and practical work of maintaining families. In this program, the spaces of women’s work are extended in a variety of ways: technologically in the use of YouTube by young women in Elisa Giardina Papa’s Need Ideas!PLZ!!, clandestinely in the break room of a Swiss brothel in Louise Carrin’s Venusia, and imaginatively in the Nicolás Pereda’s El palacio. These are spaces of repetition and drudgery, but also of dreaming and expressivity, and the possibility for a better life.
