Efforts of Nature V is the fifth iteration of an expanded screening programme arranged by Morgan Quaintance, that both includes and expands from his film of the same name.

This combined programme, featuring work by Marthe Peters, Jerry Tartaglia, Marlon Riggs, Xiaolu Wang and Pedro Pietri, considers the human body as both grounded locus for affects, pleasures and illnesses; and as a vessel through which carnal realities lead to transcendental experience. Together these works explore what encases the body, what sets the mind free, and how these two conditions may not be as separate as we think.
