The Garage Museum has announced a large cinema program of seven films. It was called “Titanium Daisies” and is dedicated to the phenomenon of the female gaze in cinema. The sessions will be held in the auditorium of the museum from September 2 to 24.
A series of screenings will be opened by the drama One Little Night Secret by Natalia Meshchaninova.

The show is named after two iconic European films, decades apart, that vividly demonstrate the revolutionary potential of the female gaze. It is an experimental film by Hungarian director Vera Khitilova “Daisies” about two girls who discard the conventions and rules of society, and Jules Ducourneau’s “Titan”, a radical body horror that received the “Golden Branch” from the 74th edition of Cannes.

As a reminder, the Garage previously launched a series of online courses. They are dedicated to various problems of contemporary art and humanitarian knowledge.
