Maintenance Works Film Club, Series 1: The Century Of The Self

Screening sessions on 17, 24 February and 3 March 2017, starting at 19.30 hrs at Cemeti.

The notion of “self-design” has been a recurring theme in our conversations with TUHANTU, the graphic design cooperative that is working on Cemeti’s new visual identity. Following on, we will screen the four-part documentary series Century of the Self (2002) by filmmaker Adam Curtis over the course of four evenings. The series focuses on Edward Bernays, the nephew of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, who invented the term “public relations”.
