A event held at The Cube on Thursday 4th October. The event starts at 19:00.
Sex sells. What sells even more? Insecurity. Multi-billion dollar industries saturate our lives with images of unattainable beauty, exporting body hatred from New York to Beirut to Tokyo. Their target? Women, and increasingly men and children. The Illusionists turns the mirror on media, exposing the absurd, sometimes humorous, and shocking images that seek to enslave us.
We’re excited to host the first public screening in Bristol of this critically acclaimed documentary about the globalisation of beauty ideals, filmed in 8 countries across 4 continents.
This evening at The Cube is presented by Adblock Bristol: the campaign for a happier, healthier city free from the pressures of corporate outdoor advertising.
There will be a short discussion before the film starts, to introduce some of the issues raised and explore what action is being taken in Bristol.
