To tie in with a brand new season of exhibitions and events, FACT presents a trilogy of cult-classic film.

New exhibition you feel me_ takes a close and sensitive look at the dynamics of power which we experience in daily life, both online and offline. It is these power systems that rule our actions, opinions and responses to the world around us, and to each other.

This three-part film series has been curated to root the viewer right within the context of the exhibition, offering a whole new dimension of understanding through compelling cinematography and storytelling, spanning societal structures and social justice.

Belladonna of Sadness (1973)

Written by Eiichi Yamamoto, the 1973 Japanese animated feature Belladonna of Sadness tells the story of a beautiful village girl (Jeanne) who marries for love (Jean), but faces tragedy when an evil lord rapes her on her wedding night and proceeds to ruin her and her husband's lives. After she's banished from her village, the girl makes a pact with the devil to gain magical ability and take revenge.
