Ticketed Screenings
Contours of Being is a film programme about the meditation on bodies shaped by time, care, memory, and the quiet persistence of everyday gesture. With three pairings tracing life’s contours, where flesh holds memory. From Naomi Kawase to Agnes Varda, cinema listens to bodies in time - be it weathered hands, faces or tender silhouettes that sculpt and resist the anatomical ideal.
