Film Series: Women and the Avant-Garde

Thursday, June 10, 2010 | 8pm | $5

The Bridge Film Series is pleased to present a night of avant-garde films made by women, as a continuation of it’s annual Flicks By Chicks screenings. The six short films will provide a glimpse into the contributions made by women to the experimental film community, ranging from the late 1950’s through the present. Most of the films will be shown in their original 16mm format, and Rose Lowder’s “Certaines Observations” will be projected simultaneously through two separate projectors, as intended by the filmmaker. It will be a fun and engaging night of film viewing and audience interaction, with a short introduction to the filmmakers given at the beginning and a time for questions and discussion following the films.

Jane Conger Belson Shimane: Odds & Ends (1959)
Carolee Schneemann: Plumb Line (1968-72)
