IMA Talk: Sara Jordenö

Overview

Sara Jordenö might be in Australia to screen her debut documentary at this year's Sydney Film Festival; however showcasing Kiki to cinephiles down south isn't the only stop on her itinerary. Much to the delight of creative types further north, she's also heading to Brisbane.

The visual artist turned documentarian will chat about collaboration in documentary cinema — and social practice public art projects, too — at the Institute of Modern Art. Given that Kiki offers audiences an energetic look at New York City's voguing ballroom scene, she'll certainly have plenty to discuss.

There's a reason that Sydney Film Festival not only programmed her film but also anointed Jordenö one of the fest's ten women directors to watch, after all. And that honour caps off a big year all-round for the Swedish filmmaker, with Kiki also screening at the 2016 Berlin International Film Festival and taking home the Teddy Award for its troubles.
