Welcome to a short film program, reading and conversation with artist and filmmaker Rebecca Jane Arthur.

Arthur’s intimate portraits of fellow artists, friends and family members show us how everyday accounts and personal searches for emancipation and connection, are intertwined with social and political struggles beyond the individual.

The program presents a selection of portraits of women, with and without the privilege of artistic endeavours, including clips from Arthur’s upcoming film on Camilla Collett.
