Experimenta Mixtape #2 at BFI Southbank (27 FEB 20:20):

We juxtapose classic and contemporary artist works while drawing in, say, music videos and examples of early cinema as a way of illustrating the sparks and connections that exist across moving-image history. A key part of this event is that no titles are announced in advance – think of it as a chance encounter with the unknown.

  • This compelling animated documentary follows writer David Hare as he visits the Middle East to assess the damage done to the region since the 708km wall dividing Israel and Palestine was built. During his journey, Hare confronts stark injustices and contradictions.
