Join us at The Film-Makers' Cooperative (475 Park Avenue South, 6th Floor) on FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16th at 7:00pm for a 16mm screening of Stan Brakhage's rarely-shown feature Tortured Dust. Presented by Carter Haskins.
"These four reels are just a small sampling of the Film-Makers' Coop’s vast Stan Brakhage collection. Many of the Coop's Brakhage prints are rarely screened, and many aren’t available anywhere digitally. This screening series highlights the best of this underseen trove of Brakhage’s films.
In 1991, shortly after the end of the Gulf War, filmmaker Simone Bitton recorded an encounter between Palestinian historian Elias Sanbar and French film critic Serge Daney. Sanbar is a collector of images – an exile who archives the memory of his people: press photographs, family albums, postcards, and so on. To him, the image serves as proof of his identity. By contrast, although he spent most of his life watching films, Daney always refused to keep still images.
Visual Studies Workshop presents Monster in Me: Video Work by Cecelia Condit, a screening of works from across the four decade career of video artist Cecelia Condit. Her experimental videos are deeply personal, dense with texture, and threaded with wry humor as they explore themes of feminist horror. These videos connect surreal dream spaces to the real, waking world, commenting on everyday cycles of violence.
Homegrown Stories is an online collaborative media project featuring the work of nationally and internationally recognized film, video and sound artists.

Filmmaker LeAnn Erickson, Jeff Caplan, and Brian Alves will be in attendance for Q&A.
