Serge Daney (1944–1992), one of the most influential critics of the 20th century, was described by Jean-Luc Godard as the end of criticism as he understood it. In conjunction with the publication of a new eponymous issue on the writings and ideas of Daney, ICA (London) and Sabzian present ‘Serge Daney and the Promise of Cinema’, twelve films reflecting his philosophically rich, wide-ranging criticism, fueled by a passionate belief in a cinephilic internationalism. A more detailed introduction to Serge Daney and the programme can be found here.  

All the screenings will be preceded by guest introductions.   
Tickets can be ordered on the ICA website.    

This programme is presented in collaboration with Arta Barzanji and Gerard-Jan Claes, who edited and compiled for Sabzian the issue ‘Serge Daney and the Promise of Cinema, available in English and French, featuring contributions from critics, academics, and translators from around the world.       

Presented in partnership with ICA and with the support of Southwark College.
