MARLON SAID TO ME, “MARIA, DON’T WORRY, IT’S JUST A MOVIE

Film screening with co-curator/filmmaker Kelly Sears in attendance

Date/Time: Thursday, Feb. 1 (7:30pm)

Curated by filmmakers Kelly Sears, Jennifer Reeder, and Lauren Wolkstein, this experimental film program responds to current conversations around gendered representation in film and the mistreatment of women in filmmaking. Part of the Eyeslicer series, Marlon Said investigates the female body through cinema’s tropes and traps, alternately examining dominance and violence and reframing the gaze to reclaim film language. Surreal, darkly humorous, disturbing, and enchanting, this timely meditation on female representation features short films by Kelly Gallagher, Kelly Sears, Karissa Hahn, Alli Coates, Jennifer Reeder, Walter Woodman, Marnie Ellen Hertzler, Nishat Hossain, Lauren Wolkstein, Abigail Child, and Akosua Adoma Owusu.
