Amongst the attributes of art filmmaking, there is a kind of practice that does not belong to completed narrative or traditional documentary or to absolute abstraction. Anna Kipervaser’s artistic creations sometimes seem to be poems, wandering in an inner monologue, trying to find a way to get along with nature or to talk to animals. For this special event, Anna Kipervaser will bring six films to Whammy!, all produced on 16mm film and screened on 16mm film. For the post-screening Q&A, we will chat with Anna about her diverse artistic practice. (c.h.l.)
