5/6-13: Online Film Screening: False Belief
The CPCP is pleased to cosponsor the free streaming of the film FALSE BELIEF for one week only, from:
May 6, 12pm – May 13, 2020
To view, go to: https://kunstnerneshus.no/en/cinema/hjemmekino-lene-berg
Lene Berg’s critically acclaimed film False Belief (2019) is based on autobiographical events and reconstructs the filmmaker’s Kafkaesque journey through the American criminal justice system after her partner gets arrested, put on trial and eventually imprisoned for no reason.
This event is in lieu of a live screening and discussion we hoped to have this spring. We recommend the book of former CPCP visiting scholar, Christina Hanhardt, Safe Space, as a companion piece for this film.
