DESCRIPTION:\n	Please note: This event has been canceled. Click here for mo
 re information.\n	\n	\n\n\n	With Roger Beebe and Talena Sanders in person&
 nbsp\; \n\n\n	An exploration of landscapes\, cityscapes\, bodies\, technol
 ogy\, sexuality\, feminism\, and anti-capitalist themes in search of meani
 ng\, connection\, the self\, resolve\, and greater ideals. The program of 
 shorts concludes with a projector performance by Roger Beebe paying tribut
 e to the filmmaker Norman McLaren. Following the performance and discussio
 n\, Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby\, of Duke and Battersby\, will scr

 Our Mother \n	\n	Dir. Olivia Ciummo. United States. 2019\, 5 mins. Planeta
 ry events and blood red landscapes blend with ethereal sounds as text leav
 es clues about difficulties with the mind and body. New York premiere.&nbs
 p\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	Garden City Beautiful \n	\n	Dir. Ben Balcom. United Sta
 tes. 2019\, 12 mins. One sunny afternoon in the Midwest\, suspended in a t
 ime between\, two commuters daydream about a life lived otherwise. New Yor
 k City premiere.&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	Zen Basketball \n	\n	Dir. Mike Hool
 boom. United States. 2020\, 5 mins. In a series of simple frames\, the oft
 en misunderstood practice of Zen takes shape as basketball bliss. Now in r
 etirement\, the greatest defensive player of the amateur leagues continues
  to practice on a remote island\, far from the madding crowds. His techniq
 ues and dedication undergo continual refinement\, revealed here in this st
 artling exposé. North American premiere.&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	Eastern Sta
 te \n	\n	Dir. Talena Sanders. United States. 2019\, 5 mins. Eastern State 
 brings a found archive of decades of footage documenting the lives of the 
 patients and employees of one of the oldest mental health institutions in 
 the United States into dialogue with Barbara Loden's 1970 film Wanda. Thro
 ugh digital video corruption\, VHS artifacting\, stroboscopic effects\, di
 rect animation\, and overlays\, this collage film considers the fidelity o
 f nonfiction media to represent lived experiences of isolation. New York p
 remiere. *flicker warning &nbsp\;&nbsp\; \n\n\n	Standing Forward Full \n	
 \n	Dir. Alee Peoples. United States. 2020\, 6 mins. A helter skelter is an
  amusement ride with a spiral slide built around a tower. Like this film\,
  an exorcism attempt of an unrequited desire\, itʼs either moving too fast
  or at a complete standstill. Disorienting but exciting. New York premiere
 .&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	Curious Fantasies \n	\n	Dir. Jesse McLean. United 
 States. 2019\, 8 mins. The language and imagery related to celebrity perfu
 mes (both descriptive and visual) are a starting point to think about cons
 umer desires and the corruptness of branding. “Give us your songs\, your s
 mells\, and we will give you everything.” The rich get richer\, everyone s
 mells poorer. New York premiere.&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	BECOMING \n	\n	Dir.
  Ariel Teal. United States. 2018\, 8 mins. Embodying a body after trauma. 
 Blowjobs\, Buffy the Vampire Slayer\, and memory are interwoven in an atte
 mpt to process and find bodily autonomy. Content warning: The film contain
 s text dealing with sexual trauma. New York premiere.&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n
 \n	LIVE PERFORMANCE: Lineage (for Norman McLaren) \n	\n	Dir. Roger Beebe. 
 USA. 2019. 15 mins. 16mm projector performance. Lineage is a loop-based “o
 rchestral” film performance for four 16mm projectors. Using as a point of 
 departure Norman McLaren’s abstract animations in Lines Horizontal as well
  as reworked footage from two documentary portraits of McLaren in his prim
 e and in his later life\, the film explores the ways in which abstract mar
 ks made in a variety of ways—laser printing and etching\, contact printing
  and hand-processing—result in strange and surprising sounds. New York pre
 miere.&nbsp\; &nbsp\; \n\n\n	WORK-IN-PROGRESS: Civil Twilight at the Verna
