Poster for Diary in Exile

1993 · ★ 7.0 (1)

DIARY IN EXILE is a documentary film that uses a combination of sound, image, colour and peoples testimonies to historically account for the period following the fundamentalist military coup in the Sudan in 1989. This period witnessed the migration of a staggering number of Sudanese from their country to all parts of the World. The Sudan became an expellant of its people. The greater majority of Sudanese migrants headed to Egypt, where the film was shot, there is an estimated number of 3 million Sudanese migrants to Egypt since the military coup. Moving between different strata of Sudanese communities in Egypt the film, through various personal testimonies, throws light on the living conditions of ordinary people. All provide pieces of the saga, all have taken refuge in Egypt. All dream of returning back to Sudan, one day. The film was premiered at the United Nations Human Rights Conference, Vienna, in 1993.

Poster for Un paseo por New York Harbor

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

The apparent quietness of a sunny Sunday kindles the walkers of New York. Do they not hear the chants for peace, the shouts against war or the agitation in the streets caused by the civil rights movements? A letter addressed to a brother, the words of poet Langston Hughes and the jazz rhythm reminds us that 1967 was a hectic year.

Poster for Four Recent Installations

1993 · ★ 1.0 (1)

In all Schneemann's montages, films and performances, there is an insistent repetition of disparate motifs — within each work and from work to work. This video presents the consistent relocation of these themes to suggest a cumulative continuity; from montage to montage, each motif is readjusted, repositioned, dismembered and remembered in new contexts. This video includes documentation of four installations: Venus Vectors (1989-98), Cycladic Imprints (1989-92), Scroll Paintings with Exploded TV (1990-91) and Video Rocks(1989-92).

When the mouth, the brush, and the film reel all get excited together, the result is an experimental film that pulsates between materials, signs, and black and white to the frenetic rhythm of Nicole Paris's beatboxing and that of her father and mentor, Edward Cage.
