Poster for Pains of Forever

2016 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"This work takes the form of a private home video, left unseen, which probes the relationship between love and suicide. Hinging upon Goethe’s seminal novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, my monologue speaks of the events that transpired between my parents on their slow dance toward destruction. This monologue unfolds quietly over footage filmed mere months ago -- intimate footage of my lover’s elder sister with her husband, footage I had intended to show my parents. Communication can be painfully, heart-wrenchingly difficult, especially with those we love. When will our life end? When will our love end? Adrift on a sea of the unknown in an age of stillness rocked by chaos simultaneous and scattered, perhaps the only response is to pause in place, and stand allied with those unable to fulfill their love and life. To cope is to quietly confront the "impossibility of communication."" -UMMMI.

Poster for 73 Suspect Words

2000 · ★ 0.0 (0)

73 Suspect Words is a deceptively simple and ultimately chilling meditation on the power of text. Ahwesh succinctly delves into one person's obsessive irrationality, and his expressions of fear and anger. Based on a spell-check of the Unabomber's manifesto, the work evokes the violence underlying the key words presented.

Poster for Yours in Sisterhood

2018 · ★ 4.2 (5)

What might be revealed in the process of inviting strangers to act out and respond to 1970s feminism forty years later? Between 2015 and 2017, hundreds of strangers in communities all over the US were invited to read aloud and respond to letters from the 70s sent to the editor of Ms. Magazine–the first mainstream feminist magazine in the US. The intimate, provocative, and sometimes heartbreaking conversations that emerge from these spontaneous performances make us think critically about the past, present, and future of feminism.

Poster for Catalogue Vol. 6

2016 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Catalogue Vol. 6 was shot using a furniture catalogue while audio clips from a horror movie that mention the word “house” or names of rooms, or parts of the house, such as “upstairs,” played in the studio so that each shot acquired a random soundtrack. The lm clips were then organized as a “tour” through the rooms of a house: foyer, living room, dining room, kitchen, study, bath, ending at the bedroom.

Poster for Tri-Alogue #2

2017 · ★ 10.0 (1)

By presenting three filmmakers’ work simultaneously within a single 16mm frame, Tri-Alogue #2 offers a complexity of perspective that undermines the omniscient cinematic gaze and evokes a deeper relational mystery. Collaborating to subdivide a 16mm film frame into thirds, three lmmakers present their separately-shot segments simultaneously within one spatial plane. From the interplay of these three points of view emerges a cinematic conversation based on a horizontal compositional logic within the shared frame.

Poster for Villatalla

2011 · ★ 7.0 (1)

"Film shots and sound recordings over the course of one month in a remote mountain village in Liguria. I do not work with the illusion of the synchronisation of image and sound, but with the idea that these 2 dimensions do exist as realities independent of each other, and as such do in fact emerge in our consciousness. The world in Villatalla is not showcased but simply lived. The few remaining inhabitants pursue the few remaining work. Social life happens in a beautiful slowness of the present." Jeannette Muñoz.

Take back the airwaves: Mexico’s video art doyenne Ximena Cuevas books herself onto the tabloid talk show Tombola, toying at first with whimsical deconstruction until she turns the whole affair on its head by seizing the televisual flow itself.

Poster for Farewell to the Parents

2017 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The film is based on the eponymous 1960 novel by author Peter Weiss. In this autobiographical text, the author describes the years of his childhood and youth in Germany in the 20s and 30s as well as the flight of his half-Jewish family from persecution by the Nazis. This odyssey also portrays the young first-person narrator’s struggle for his artistic existence, as he was striving to establish himself as a painter and writer. In a free, sensual essay between fiction and document, realistic description and stylised invention, the film attempts to kindle today’s flame based on the past’s, and to create a new and vibrant third work from it.
