Club des Femmes present Smoulder + Curl: the films of Annette Kennerley
We’re very excited to be extending into Club Des Femmes Internationale & travelling to Tampere Film Festival in Finland with one of our favourite filmmakers Annette Kennerley, in conversation with CDF’s own Jenny Clarke!
From the late 80’s through to the late 90’s, East London based artist-filmmaker Annette Kennerley created a unique and deeply personal body of 16mm films that explored the ebb and flow of lesbian relationships, her encounter with sexual politics and experiences of motherhood.
Poetic, joyous, intimate, witty and sexy yet tinged with melancholy and regret, her work offers an emotionally frank and at times voyeuristic journey into memories of love, lust, power, and loss.
Annette was also an early enquirer into trans lives, relationships and identities, mixing straight to camera interviews with herself, and her young son Jack’s own playful experiments with gender fluidity. Concurrent with her filmmaking, Annette co-founded, with Zach I. Nataf, the London Transgender Film Festival (1997–2000).
This programme is curated by London based queer feminist collective Club des Femmes, who always take great pleasure in presenting Annette’s films to new audiences.
