On Tuesday, 1 May 2012, from 18:30 to 21:00, Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design will host the launch of the Afterall Film Club. The opening event will feature filmmaker and theorist Laura Mulvey, renowned for her influential 1975 essay 'Visual Pleasure in Narrative Cinema.' In collaboration with Peter Wollen, Mulvey co-directed several films in the late 1970s and early 1980s, such as 'Riddles of the Sphinx' (1978) and 'Frida Kahlo and Tina Modotti' (1980). The club is set to convene eight times annually at CSM's new King's Cross location. Future sessions will be led by Dexter Dalwood, Mark Leckey, and Nina Power. Participation is free, with registration available via email at filmclub@afterall.org. This initiative is a partnership between Afterall and Double Agents, under the CSM Research group 'Moving image: practice, criticism, discourse.'
