Desire in Motion presents Speaking Parts at the Paradise
Desire in Motion is thrilled to present Speaking Parts (1989) with an in-person Q&A with director Atom Egoyan on July 29, 2025 at 7PM! Tickets are on sale now.
Through the use of videotapes, home movies, telephones, screens, and cameras, Speaking Parts emphasizes barriers between people and explores how these technologies become extensions of the characters themselves who are unwilling, or unable, to connect with the person on the other side.
