DESCRIPTION:Commissioned by the Louvre Museum for their art co
 llection to mark a centenary of filmmaking\, Tsai 
 Ming-Liang’s masterpiece Visage (2009) is at once 
 strange and visually stunning. Conceived as a film
  within a film\, the plot loosely revolves around 
 a Taiwanese film director’s attempt to shoot the s
 tory of Salomé inside the Louvre\, inspired by Leo
 nardo da Vinci’s painting St. John the Baptist\, w
 hich hangs in the museum. Shifting between reality
  – in the form of the director’s private life in T
 aipei and logistical problems with the shoot in Pa
 ris – and the richly infused scenes from the imagi
 nary film that unfold in the Louvre’s public and h
 idden spaces\, the scenes that compose the collage
 d narrative of Visage are reminiscent of individua
 l works of art constituted to form a collection. R
 eplete with references to films\, Visage also pays
  homage to pioneers of the medium and in particula
 r to the late French film director François Truffa
 ut. \n\nThe screening will be followed by a roundt
 able discussion with:\n\nCatherine Derosier-Poucho
 us (Head of Cultural Production\, Louvre Museum)\n
 Song Hwee Lim (Senior Lecturer in Film Studies\, U
 niversity of Exeter) \nIsabelle McNeill (Philomath
 ia Fellow in French\, Trinity Hall\, Cambridge)
