How to Save a Dead Friend / A Ghost Story

A double feature pairing Marusya Syroechkovskaya's documentary with David Lowery's feature explores the convergence of touch with the ghostly. The programme uses the white sheet as both an icon of the returning dead and a translucent canvas recalling early public exhibitions where shadowy figures appeared on or behind its surface. Following the films, an in-person Q&A features UCLA Cinema and Media Studies Professor Kriss Ravetto-Biagioli and Université Paris Cité Visual Studies Professor Martine Beugnet.
