To press, to press the issue, forcing a difficult or controversial subject that may be willfully ignored. To put weight on something, to stress importance, Pressing Play is a critical exploration of film and video work that uses play to address weighty issues such as sexuality, oppression, identity, desire and memory. Spontaneous and joyful, subersive or amusing, Roving Projects is pleased to present an energetic and dynamic showcase of film and video work.
