‘Screen Encounters’ gives artists the chance to share with the audiences works that have been profoundly influential on their career and practice. M+ Cinema invites creative practitioners to handpick and present moving image works by other artists or makers. The curated pairings render the visual and conceptual connections between two bodies of work across geography and time.

The inaugural ‘Screen Encounters’ programme features three works of Hong Kong–writer, poet, filmmaker, and video artist Yau Ching. Is There Anything Specific You Want Me To Tell You About?, Flow, and The Ideal Na(rra)tion will be presented at M+ Cinema together with an influential film by her mentor, American dancer, choreographer, and filmmaker Yvonne Rainer.
