JADE BARGET



I am a curator and culture worker based between Berlin and Paris with an interest in screen and moving image cultures.  

In June 2022, I presented Fatal & Fallen at bi’bak’s sinema transtopia, a touring programme co-curated by XING featuring 1970-80s East Asian exploitation films focusing on female revenge. In April 2022, with Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi, I co-curated a programme of screenings and performative screenings for Berlin’s Gorki theatre around the phenomenon of fog.

In previous years, I curated programmes for Singapore’s Asian Film Archive;  Palazzo Re Rebaudengo and
