  • 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.

  • Show & Tell: Xander Marro

    By on
    Show & Tell: Xander Marro

    “Xander Marro (American b. 1975) has been living the good life in the feminist sub-underground for too many years to count on her long bony fingers. She draws pictures (usually narrative), makes movies (usually not narrative), produces plays with elaborate sets and costumes (usually narrative, but confusing), and then makes stuff like quilts and dioramas (probably narrative?). Her work is often about spiritual relationships to the material stuff of this world. Co-founder of the Dirt Palace in 2000 AD (feminist cupcake-encrusted netherworld located along the dioxin filled banks of the Woonasquatucket River, which is to say in Providence, RI, USA). Her studio (and heart) is there still.” –X.M.
