We are thrilled to present the first solo show of films by Rajee Samarasinghe in Los Angeles. Between the spaces and places of Sri Lanka and Los Angeles, Samarasinghe’s body of films stunningly unfold the liminal space between the mystery of filmmaking and the magic of being while at the same time, in his words, “often navigate the terrain of memory, migration, and impermanence.” Join us after the films for a conversation between Samarasinghe and fellow filmmaker Mike Stoltz. The screening will be followed by a reception on the outdoor patio with Sri Lankan snacks and Tarot card readings by Delini Malka Samarasinghe, who appears in the films and, is the filmmaker's sister.

Como una forma de redefinirse a través de la indefinición, el programa espera explorar el carácter fluido y orgánico del género, la identidad y la espiritualidad dentro de la voz queer colectiva como una comunidad unificada. Siendo esta una experiencia que es vulnerable a un universo heteronormativo que sacrifica estos cuerpos distintos como consecuencia de su manifestación.
TOPOGRAFÍAS ONÍRICAS. LOS FILMES DE DORE O. SCREENING LAV #011
“Al estar ubicadas en la "antecámara o el lenguaje, incluso de la conciencia", sus películas recién restauradas ocupan un estado intermedio que no puede interpretarse fácilmente ni abordarse verbalmente. Su flujo asociativo de imágenes y sonido actúa como deliberación sobre su sensualidad. En una densidad onírica y una extraña suspensión del tiempo, las películas de O. inducen un elevado sentido de percepción entre la hipnosis y la claridad.” - Masha Matzke
