Step into the poetic world of cinema with Somewhere Else Entirely<\/em>, a film by Emily Andersen about the poet Ruth Fainlight. After the screening, join a personal Q&A with filmmaker Emily Andersen, hosted by Astrid Alben, for a rare behind-the-scenes insight into Fainlight\u2019s life and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born in New York in 1931, Ruth Fainlight moved to England at fifteen and went on to build a diverse body of work spanning poetry, stories, and translations. She moved in literary circles that included Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, and in 1959 married writer Alan Sillitoe.In Somewhere Else Entirely<\/em>, Emily Andersen offers an intimate portrait of Fainlight, capturing her at home in London and Brighton with a sharp eye for composition. Through small, meaningful moments, Fainlight reflects on writing, memory, and loss. We follow her on walks and through her notebooks as she describes the feeling of \u201cbeing in the hands of a poem\u201d. The film takes its title from the poem she wrote after her husband\u2019s death, which she performs herself in the film.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"event_date":"2026-06-06","footnotes":""},"venue":[267],"event_type":[133],"route":[],"class_list":["post-869","event","type-event","status-publish","hentry","venue-lantarenvenster-6","event_type-movie"],"acf":{"event_location":267,"event_location_source":{"label":"Locatie","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":267},"event_category":[133],"event_category_source":{"label":"Categorie","type":"taxonomy","formatted_value":[133]},"language":["english"],"language_source":{"label":"Voertaal","type":"select","formatted_value":[{"value":"english","label":"Engels"}]},"spoken_languages":"English","spoken_languages_source":{"label":"Gesproken talen","type":"text","formatted_value":"English"},"language_label":"spoken","language_label_source":{"label":"Label","type":"select","formatted_value":"Gesproken talen"},"subtitles":[],"subtitles_source":{"label":"Boventiteling","type":"select","formatted_value":[]},"has_interpreter":false,"has_interpreter_source":{"label":"Tolk NGT\/Schrijftolk","type":"true_false","formatted_value":false},"poets":[678],"poets_source":{"label":"Dichters","type":"relationship","formatted_value":[{"ID":678,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2026-04-01 09:17:15","post_date_gmt":"2026-04-01 08:17:15","post_content":"\n

Emily Andersen (GBR) is a London-based artist and a graduate of the Royal College of Art. She works with both still and moving image. Her practice explores how identities are constructed through representation, with particular attention to the performative exchange between sitter and photographer. Rather than treating photography as an instantaneous capture, she emphasizes duration, research, and material production, positioning the photograph as a site of encounter and negotiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
