Organized by the Visiting Artist program and curated by Tara Nelson, this program brings film makers from across the country to our Spring Film Screening Series.

The Extravagant Shadows
A beautiful discourse on language and time, David Gatten’s award winning film shows the filmmaker painting a window with different pigments in real time, while literary excerpts emerge on the screen.

Under Your Skin: The Artist Body in Film
Curated by Filmmaker Tara Nelson, Under Your Skin is a series of screenings and visiting filmmakers considering the role of the artist’s body and how it relates to moving image.

Jennifer Montgomery



           
Montgomery's films explore the complex psychological struggles with identity, control, and sexuality that are inherent in human relationships. Her recent feminist autobiography explores
"innocence of guilt and the guilt of innocence".
Artist Talk: Friday, February 1, 11:30a

Victor Faccinto



Faccinto’s films may have been described as psycho-erotic cinema, but the intention is not to alienate audiences, but to work as personal, psychological explorations.

Screening: Friday, March 1, 7-9p







Luther Price










Creating new works from old documentaries, snippets of Hollywood film and other cinematic detritus, Price ties the re-edited footage together with an often brutal electromechanical noise.
