Focus on Miranda July

Cinema is not an island. Going back to its origins, the medium was born out of multiple art forms: photography, theatre, dance and music. This is still the cinema we know today, and Miranda July, just like cinema itself, is one of the true multi-hat-wearers.

July is an award-winning author, a Cannes prize-winning film director, an actor, narrator and stage performer. What tethers all of this together is her unique voice – articulate, idiosyncratic and unmistakably Miranda July.

Celebrate the screen works of Miranda July with a film season spanning feature films, short films, documentaries, music videos and video art including three works from the ACMI Collection rarely seen on screen, including Sex, Lies, and Videotape – Steven Soderbergh’s debut feature film which has had a lasting influence on Miranda July’s output.
