Creature, dir. Asif Kapadia, United Kingdom 2021, 87 min.
Creature is an intense, visceral and disturbing film directed by Academy Award winner Asif Kapadia (Amy) in a ground-breaking collaboration with Lawrence Olivier and choreographer Akram Khan.
Based on the 2021 English National Ballet stage production, the film unfolds the story of Creature who has been unknowingly enlisted by a military brigade into a bold new experimental programme. When Creature meets and falls in love with Marie, a cleaner who shows him kindness and compassion, he sees a glimmer of hope. Together they dream of escape. When the arrogant, violent Major of the military becomes obsessed with Marie, she finds herself caught between the two men as Creature begins to lose his grasp on reality with tragic consequences.
The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Asif Kapadia, hosted by film programmer Emma Bouraba.
