Films and Videos by Peggy Ahwesh, Martha Colburn, Michelle Handelman, Kerry Laitala, Xander Marro, Shana Moulton, Cecile Paris, Shannon Plumb, Ava Warbrick and Virginie Yassef and Aurelie Godard.
The series is not intended as an exhaustive survey. The purpose is to extend past and current efforts to increase interest in experimental cinema by women, to inspire further study, and to bolster efforts to conserve films and videos by the artists presented. M.M. Serra’s program, “Women in Experimental Film,” which was presented during the Wack! Exhibition at P.S.1 in March 2008 is a precedent upon which the series builds. The screenings are also inspired by the publication of Women’s Experimental Cinema in 2007 by Duke University Press, edited by Robin Blaetz.
