    The Irish premiere of Rouzbeh Rashidi’s latest experimental feature film, Dreaming Is Not Sleeping (2025), will take place at Light House Cinema in Dublin on Saturday, May 3rd, at 7 PM. The project was made possible through the support of the Arts Council of Ireland and expands upon the lyrical film-essay style Rashidi introduced in his 2023 work, Elpis. Over the course of two years, the filmmaker immersed himself in haunting ruins and abandoned landscapes across Germany, Poland, Denmark, and Ireland to capture the film’s evocative imagery.

  • Mills Folly Microcinema Presents Body Prop

    By on

    Body Prop is an avant-garde essay film and attack against the ontology of white imperialism. Made of mostly hand-processed super 8 film - the rejected pieces of film used in other pieces of The Numb Spiral. The piece, in five movements, takes on the subject of the Body as a prop, as a body politic, as a simulation, and as a necropolitical expense, creating a “Cadaver Decomposition Island” of discarded scraps of Super 8 and archival material reveal the shadow of US nihilism within the advanced stage of hyperreality.

  • Roberto Matta's Infinite Painting and other grotesques: Videos by Barbara Lattanzi

    By on

    A survey of recent work by Barbara Lattanzi will be screened on April 23 at Hallwalls, Buffalo NY.  All the videos share one desire - to be paintings. Pursuing that desire, their intensive processes generate novel spaces for visual and sonic exploration. In particular, the videos generate spaces between dimensions - interstitial to what we conventionally think of as three-dimensional space.  It is because these videos roam fractal between-nesses that they can be considered "grotesque". The videos are expressions of grotesque realism.
