SHOWTIME 8:00pm. ALWAYS FREE BOOKS, VINYL, VHS, AND WINE.
We are oh-so-lucky to host the most lovely presence of thee queen of contemporary film-essay, Lynne Sachs! Returning to the site of her very earliest retrospective, Lynne blesses the first section of our semi-annual SisPix with an hour of her engaged oeuvre: Beginning with a brief reading from her Hand Book: A Manual on Performance, Process, and the Labor of Laundry--even another perfect-bound bundle of Lynne's image-text brilliance--she proceeds with The Washing Society cine-excerpt that best complements that new release, then clothes-pins her abortion-rights-ritual short Contractions to our riveted line-of-sight, and closes her Artist's Talk with a few choice chapters from her forthcoming feature, Every Contact Leaves a Trace. Tonight's second set of women's work is constituted by a quintet of feminist films that parlay personal insights into the public sphere: Shapeshifter Kathleen Quillian's Wildflower Season considers her daughters' comings-of-age, Virginia's Sasha Waters' Fragile picks up the thread, correlating a parallel trajectory into one's middle-age, Sacramento State's Jenny Stark spatializes the metaphor with her Where Your Road Ends, Mine Begins, Caribbean-based Karla Betancourt's New Indigo Wave extols the organic plant-based inks of Oaxaca, Mexico, and East Bay artiste Kate Dollemayer's 16mm Cycladic Thermometer imagines female figurines from ancient Greece as possible agents for healing the wounds of the world. $12
