The Forgotten Space

Listing features: FACT Film Screening

From underpaid truck drivers in LA, to Filipino maids in China, this film directed by Allan Sekula & Noël Burch highlights the everyday people whose role in the global economy goes largely undocumented.

Drawing from interviews and archival materials The Forgotten Space  offers a lucid and lyrical portrait of worker's conditions, the imbalance of international trade and the secret lives of port cities.  

We hope to be joined by Allan Sekula for a Q&A. 

About the Biennial Film Programme

As part of The Unexpected Guest, FACT and the Liverpool Biennial present one of the most ambitious programmes of contemporary artist film ever seen in Liverpool, all of which are inspired by the Biennial's theme of Hospitality.

Through a series of weekly film screenings, Q&A sessions, and film forums, we present a survey of contemporary practice in artist film and video focusing on the recent propensity of artists to work in the medium to feature-length format.
