The Culturist Film Club - Online: Tigertail (May 5)
For the month of May, the film club will focus on films related to multifaceted themes of work and labour.
Tigertail by writer-director Alan Yang is a new Netflix film that was released on April 10. I have not yet watched it, and by scheduling a film discussion about it, it will make me watch it instead of postponing it.
I’m curious about this film and hope you will be too.

About The Culturist Film Club:
The Culturist Film Club is something I started on April 19, an online activity where participants have a few days to watch a film I suggest, and then we meet online to discuss on a specific date.
My film programming for Louvre Abu Dhabi is currently on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, and I so I thought I’d give this a try. There are countless film viewing parties online right now, and I wanted to do something different by suggesting a film you can watch at your own pace and time, and then have a few of us get together online to talk about it.
