Outside the Frame: The Films of Helen Lee

Pleasure Dome co-presents Outside the Frame: The Works of Helen Lee, a retrospective of work by experimental Korean-Canadian filmmaker. Curated by Jacob Crepeault and presented between Pleasure Dome and TIFF Bell Lightbox, this program showcases four of the artist’s early works in their original 16mm and 25mm print formats. In her 2024 essay film, Paris to Pyongyang, Lee ponders whose stories get told throughout history and why others are left behind with questions like: “What is outside the frame? What can we not see? What cannot be shown?”. These inquiries have been at the core of her magnetic early works.
