TWST – Things We Said Today
Andrei Ujica
December 14 2024, 6.30pm – 8.00pm
Free admission upon registration
TWST begins with the arrival of the Beatles in New York for their August 1965 concert at Shea Stadium and takes its title from a Beatles song that anticipates a time when the present moment will have become a haunting past, neither retrievable nor forgettable. The frame of reference steadily broadens, juxtaposing adjacent realities of 1965—the New York World’s Fair and the Watts riots filtering through from the East Coast on television. A cast of thousands is summoned—each separate sphere, face, and place given equal weight, each instant a centre. Within these domains, ghostly incorporeal presences circulate, their words audible—figures of vanished youth still inhabiting these locations, whose gritty photographic textures confirm their reality. A journey to the hidden core of a world both gone and palpably present.
The screening is part of the program Stories in history, which accompanies the exhibition Il Nostro Tempo, CinéFondationCartier.
