As part of the Cinema66 screening series, Brand New Blinkers are curating an evening of experimental films based around the theme - Non-Verbal Communication. Apart from titles, the films in this selection are not language-based, but rather unfold on a visual and aural level, communicating in a peculiar and unconventional way.

From the 1920s on one can locate a fascinating, global convergence of avant-garde anthropology and experimental cinemas. In Latin America, this has often resulted in the manufacturing of social utopias and calls for radical figurations of the New Man, often by blurring nationalist and cosmopolitan fantasies dreamt up between Old and New Worlds. Chilean exile film artist and theorist Raúl Ruiz belongs uneasily and dissonantly to this tradition.
