Speaking to Power is a film program of documentaries portraying subversive acts of resistance, curated by Dr Eloise Fornieles and Marta Pellerini.

This program brings together three films documenting the lives and activities of people speaking to power by demonstrating subversive acts of resistance. Inventive, touching and with bursts of humour, the filmmakers and their protagonists use film, performance and broadcasting to tell their stories and address the politics of power.

The second event in the Speaking to Power film series will be held on 26 March 2025 at 6 pm, with the screening of “Few Can See” (2023, 42mins) & “2 Channel Land” (2022, 15mins) by director Frank Sweeney.

The film is in English with Italian subtitles, and it is followed by a Q&A between the director Frank Sweeney and Manuela Pacella.
