between the past and the future, face the present realities of an eroding
economy.

Masterclass: A Secret Cinema We are also excited to announce the topic of
Artist-in-Focus Iva Radivojević's masterclass - A Secret Cinema - taking
place on August 6th at 10 AM.
“Life is always spectral, *my *life is always spectral, and in the trace is
always life.”
- Akira Mizuta Lippit on Jacques Derrida

This masterclass will explore the idea of the *Specter *who is at the same
time both visible and invisible.

Perhaps haunting.

Both biographical and autobiographical.

The *Specter* is arrived at from elsewhere, an outside, and all the while
remains secret.

The eye / I, the narrating *Specter*, reflection, and self-reflection are
all components of the workshop. The theme is inspired by an essay
titled *Derrida,
Specters, Self-Reflection* by Akira Mizuta Lippit in which Life,
Spectrality, and Autobiography are outlined as the elements of a secret
cinema (and Derrida himself).

The workshop will dissect these elements to lean into the secret, and
explore questions of dream logic and the mythical in my moving image work.
It will include some of my short films as well as a screening of *Gaàda*, a
"process" film assembled from footage I gathered in pre-production for my
film *Aleph*.

With love,

--*Iva Radivojević, Lesbos, July 2022*
