Acts of Compulsion is a programme of works from the Cinenova collection at the intersections of sexuality, health and social action in the 1980’s & 90’s. The five shorts in the programme employ experimental techniques, documentary and performance, offering intimate portrayals of touch, desire, care and resistance.  These themes in turn fold into ongoing questions about the work of Cinenova itself: how can we acknowledge our interdependent relationships, particularly as an un-funded volunteer organisation?
