Schnitzer Cinema: Tender Fictions and Maya Deren’s Sink with Skype conversation with Barbara Hammer

February 10
7 p.m.

Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art

An acclaimed pioneer of queer cinema, Barbara Hammer has produced more than 75 works, including early lesbian avant-garde films that remain of fundamental importance for a new generation of artists. Most recently, she was honored with retrospectives at MoMA (New York, 2010) and the Tate Modern (London, 2012). Innovative, funny, and historic, Tender Fictions is an autobiographical exploration of the search for and meaning of gay community, featuring a rich montage of home movies, experimental films, news footage, and personal photographs. Maya Deren’s Sink explores Deren’s concepts of space, time, and form through visits and projections filmed in her L.A. and New York homes. Schnitzer Cinema series is programmed by Richard Herskowitz, JSMA curator of media arts and director of Cinema Pacific, with the help of Professor Quinn Miller.  Free admission and refreshments! The Queer Productions series is cosponsored by Academic Affairs, College of Arts and Sciences, and Department of English.
