Montreal continues to be a source of innovative experimental cinema that is rooted in hands-on, formally adventurous production -- thanks, in part, to the exuberant activities of the Double Negative filmmakers' collective. Co-presented with Bright Lights (Emerson), this program highlights a number of works from Double Negative members and their friends completed in the last several years.

Guest Filmmakers Daïchi Saïto and Eduardo Menz will discuss the screening with the audience in a post-screening Q&A.

Made possible with support from the Québec Government Office in Boston and Emerson College.

- Las Mujeres de Pinochet (Pinochet’s Women) by Eduardo Menz
DV / color / sound / 12 min. / 2005 / Canada -Projection Format: QuickTime Prores 422
Through the repetition and alteration of image, sound and text that play on viewer’s expectations, Pinochet’s Women examines class structure, the meaning of beauty and forgotten history through two very different but significant women during Pinochet's brutal regime of the late 1980s in Chile.

- Acrobat by Eduardo Menz
16mm, HD / color / Dolby 5.1 / 28 min. / 2012 / Canada - Projection Format: QuickTime Prores 422
The vulnerability of alienated individuals who desperately desire to be noticed and crave for genuine human connection, is exposed as odd and intimate scenes of voyeuristic fantasy, impersonating intangibility, romantic longing, sexual confusion, and liberating daydreams.
