Every day, images serve as irrefutable evidence of all kinds of occurrences. People constantly appropriate images to claim the truth. Despite these facts, image-making is a contextual process that rises out of culture. This film series explores some of the contexts in which images are made. Through these films we hope to explore the nature of photographic and film documentation as it exists in the world today.

A programme of 6 films will be screened at 7 pm on Sundays and Wednesdays throughout this month starting 15 September, as follows:
