The short documentary film revolves around the cinema's director, Boudjemaâ Karèche. According to The Guardian, Sedira described the exhibition with the slogan 'Cinema as a weapon'. The artist's recreation of an Algerian cafe in Paris circa 1974 argues that intellectual life should not be separated from the pursuit of pleasure. Sedira was born in Paris to Algerian parents and has lived in London since 1986.
Also at Tate Britain, Hurvin Anderson's retrospective explores clashing contrasts and unresolved conflicts. Anderson started painting from photos in 1990s Birmingham. His painting of his sister and niece on a frozen lake in Canada leaves their faces featureless. He paints his local Wyndley swimming pool as a modernist fever dream from a distance. The barbershop is depicted as a sanctified place where black people can belong without rejection. Anderson went to Trinidad and Tobago in the early 2000s and saw iron security grilles and chain link fences.
The Turner/Constable exhibition film is part of the Exhibition on Screen strand. Turner was born in 1775 and Constable in 1776. The film features curators Amy Concannon and Nicola Moorby. The Napoleonic wars closed off Europe, causing British painters to turn inward for inspiration. Contemporary artist Lachlan Goudie provides commentary in the film.
