  • Anthology Film Archives: The Royal Road

    By on
    The Royal Road (Jenni Olson, 2014)

    Co-presented by MIX NYC, producer of the NY Queer Experimental Film Festival.

    The latest film from acclaimed San Francisco-based filmmaker, writer, curator, and LGBT film historian Jenni Olson, The Royal Road is a beautifully structured, multi-faceted essay film that offers up a primer on Junipero Serra’s Spanish colonization of California and the Mexican American War alongside intimate reflections on nostalgia, butch identity, the quest for unattainable women, and Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo – all against a contemplative backdrop of 16mm urban California landscapes, and featuring a voiceover cameo by Tony Kushner. Freely mixing personal and historical meditations, and allowing the two to amplify each other without necessarily making the connections explicit, The Royal Road is a film of ideas that is also a pleasure to look at and listen to.

  • Try a Little Tenderness - 9 Films About Being Vulnerable

    By on
    Still from Pearl Pistols, Kelly Gallagher, 2014

    Another Experiment By Women 
    presents a show with guest curator Sasha Waters Freyer

    Try a Little Tenderness is a selection of old and new works in 16mm film and video about being vulnerable – exposed and unsafe.  Susceptible, yet ready.  The program is a personal and collective response to the ontology of artistic canons in and of themselves.  It presents a selection of works that cross and expose the boundaries by including Net Art, music video, performance-documentation and video art alongside more traditional approaches to experimental cinema.  These nine works address, in very different ways and formats, acts of being naked to the world – the human body in search of love, food, adventure or acceptance; the human challenge to “acceptable” conduct based on race and gender stereotypes. Try It  –  Try a Little Tenderness.  With works by Greta Snider, Kelly Gallagher, Tova Mozard, Ira Eduardovna, Jennifer Chan, Alma Alloro, Laurel Nakadate, Leslie Hall, Roger Beebe and Sasha Waters Freyer.
