Description
This program highlights the vibrant personal visions of eight female members of the Film-Makers’ Cooperative. Curated by Julia Curl and playing at the FMC Screening Room on Friday, March 4th, 2022, at 7pm.
"Abstracting the Everyday" highlights the vibrant personal visions of eight female members of the New York Film-Makers’ Cooperative (est. 1961). Departing from a realist, objective conception of the world, these artists implemented radical new techniques on 16mm to plumb the depths of human consciousness. Sometimes ecstatic, sometimes haunting, the end result is a fascinating glimpse of the interior worlds of some of the most innovative experimental filmmakers of the 20th century.
