FUGUE STATE COMES TO CINCINNATI MARCH 19-21
PRESENTED BY PAR-PROJECTS, SWELL, AND WAVE POOL
(Cincinnati, Ohio) From March 19th - March 21st, FUGUE STATE brings radical cinema to Cincinnati thanks to SWELL, WAVE POOL, and PAR-Projects, who will be hosting multiple screenings and an art exhibition over the course of three days.
Fugue State, a project of Disassociative Productions, is a new traveling festival of experimental, radical, political, and avant-garde cinema with previous screenings held at the NY Film-Maker's Coop, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Elastic Arts Foundation (Chicago), and Comfort Station (Chicago), the festival keeps expanding to new cities, now choosing Cincinnati for multiple nights of screenings. M Woods, multi-disciplinary artist and founder of the festival, created the platform as a direct attack at the gate-kept, corrupted, and cronyistic film festival circuit. Thanks to local colleagues Laura Herman and Mike Sweeney, the festival was introduced to Cincinnati's vital hubs for avant-garde art and cinema.
Showcasing work that transgresses formulaic cinema, Fugue State seeks to usurp institutions backed by blood money and corporate dollars, opposed to the not-for-profit industrial complex while offering a fully independent alternative.
Featuring the work of local artists including Laura Herman, Ann Lohmueller, and Grace K Schuler, multiple artists are expected to appear in person including visiting artists Michael A. Morris, Sonnie Wooden, and M. Woods.
