Vaginal Davis presents: Rising Stars, Falling Stars – We Must Have Music!

In her new series, which is dedicated to the Arsenal’s archive from a musical point of view, artist, performer and project participant Vaginal Davis will be presenting John Cassavetes' classic THE KILLING OF A CHINESE BOOKIE (USA 1976). "John Cassavetes is not just the most independent of independent filmmakers because he plays with the components of the thriller or puts them through their paces. Cassavetes doesn't try to obtain freedom, he just has it. It is the freedom to use the camera, montage and music in a fully subjective and excessive manner to explore his themes and obsessions."
