A Sense of Site: From Calcutta to Afghanistan to Teheran

Sunday, March 6th

7:30pm

$4-$7

----/ Event Description /-----------------------------------------------

Four eclectic videos explore what is typically thought of as non-place, 
whether urban intersections, bombing sites, or public bathrooms. 
Nevertheless, these are sites where things happen, the kind of things 
we don't usually discuss. Dominic Angerame's Anaconda Targets 
appropriates aerial video of a bombing run in Afghanistan while 
soldiers' voices reveal a horrifying callousness towards their 
"targets." Alfred Guzzetti's Calcutta Intersection finds suspense in 
his single-take observation of life on the run. Pierre-Yves Clouin 
discovers a new use for airplanes in Flying Sculpture. Finally, Mahnaz 
Afzali's hour-long documentary The Ladies Room explores the lives of 
several marginalized women whose paths cross in the public bathroom of 
a Teheran park.
