British Film Institution has invited Prof. LIM Song Hwee to give a lecture on Tsai Ming-liang and a Cinema of Slowness at BFI Southbank on 2 Oct 2014. Prof. LIM Song Hwee will explore the relationship between cinematic slowness – increasingly prevelant in global arthouse cinema – and a wider socio-cultural ‘slow movement.’ He will analyze aspects of stillness and silence in cinema, focusing in particular on Tsai Ming-liang’s Vive L’Amour (1994) and his video work.
