The love stories that you see on films don’t always go smoothly or have happy endings. Obstacles can come from anywhere, from within ourselves, family, tradition, living condition, and even political situations. The five films selected to be screened in Twisted Romance — A Summer’s Tale, In The Aisles, The Aquatic Effect, The Big Sick, and Westwind — present romantic stories that can be overwhelming, funny, or gut-wrenching, with their own twists. You can also share your opinion on how twisted the stories in the films are by filling the commentary cards that will be provided in the screening.
Friday, Sep 6 – Sunday, Sep 8 at Kineforum. Tickets are obtained in exchange of voluntary donation.

‘Celestial Sorrow’: a creation by Meg Stuart and Jompet Kuswidananto/Damaged Goods
Celestial Sorrow was conceived during times spent together between American contemporary choreographer Meg Stuart and Indonesian visual artist Jompet Kuswidananto in Indonesia, premiered as part of Europalia Festival in Brussels in January 2018 and has been touring internationally since. Departing from possession and implanted fictional traumas, they create a vibrant world of light and movement, inhabited by three performers and two musicians. Together the group embarks on an exploratory journey, moving through imaginary and invisible spaces, and the voices that make them resonate.
Created with and performed by Jule Flierl, Gaëtan Rusquet, and Claire Vivianne Sobottke, with live music by Mieko Suzuki and Ikbal Simamora Lubys. The Indonesian premiere of the piece is presented by Goethe-Institut in collaboration with Komunitas Salihara, and supported by the Foreign Ministry.
Saturday, Sep 7 at 8pm-10pm and Sunday, Sep 8 at 3pm-5pm at Komunitas Salihara. Free entry
