Some worlds are connected
Have you heard of komorebi? This Japanese word means sunlight filtering through trees and casting transient shadows on the forest floor. Komorebi inspired us to experiment with a new flow – fragmented screening – to let thoughts filter through the space between the scenes. We won't view the entire film, but allow more time for conversations.
"The world is made up of many worlds; some are connected, and some are not."* – Guess the film.
We'll discuss connection as a concept in philosophical, artistic and technological contexts. The latter is strongly maintained by our event partner, Vorboss, a leading London internet provider. This time, philosophy will meet art in Vorboss's luminous office area, which connects the local business community.
Fancy a free coworking day before the event? Register here.
Inspired by the tradition of Ancient Greek symposia, Reel Philosophers nights help sharpen critical thinking through themed screenings and discussions gently guided by professional philosophers.
