Join us this July on the e-flux Screening Room rooftop for Leap of Faith, a four-part summer screening program bringing together artists’ films and cinema features from Brazil, Belgium, Spain, Vietnam, Japan, and the United States.

Modern life was supposed to make the world more rational and easier to explain. Yet many experiences resist rational explanation: an illness without a clear cause, an ethical demand that changes a life, the presence of the dead, an image that outlives what it records. The films in this program engage with experiences that transcend what exists within the concrete, physical world. To take a leap of faith, here, is to act on the chance that this world holds more than it shows.

Featuring pairings of work by Ana Vaz and Maya Da-Rin; Jonathas de Andrade and the Dardenne brothers; Lois Patiño and Trương Minh Quý; Coleman Collins and Hirokazu Kore-eda.

The series is curated by Lukas Brasiskis, Film & Video Curator at e-flux.
