To kick off our 10th Anniversary Festival, its co-curator, the influential film historian Tom Gunning, will be hosting RESURRECTING AND RE-EDITING THE CINEMA DIVA. a programme of artist films from the 20th and early-21st century.
The films invoke female stars from cinema’s past, re-imagining, and even re-assembling them from a later perspective that allows us to see them as incandescent images of desire clothed in costumes of fantasy and role play. The films featured are Rose Hobart by Joseph Cornell (1936, Unfolding the Aryan Papers by Jane and Louise Wilson (2009), and Irma Vep, the Last Breath by Michelle Handelman (2013/2015).
