poster for "Disturbing History" Screening

This event has ended.

A selection of experimental documentaries that recall obscure or lesser known histories. Some works evoke the not so distant past through personal narratives, such as Lene Berg’s The Man in the Background, which uncovers the double-life of a CIA operative during the Cold War. Others bring to light marginal stories or situations and point to factors that repress them, while Winner by Harry Dodge and Stanya Kahn portrays a fictional character, Lois, who evokes the weird genius (or isolation) of the misunderstood artist. The screening touches on a broad range of subjects including a present-day love affair between woman and monument, dreams of celebrity, and a short-lived genre called New Jack Swing, each disturbing and re-telling a set history.
