Thursday November 7 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETS
We are excited to present an evening of short experimental films by members of our current microcinema curatorial team: Alex Atienza, Pat Doyen, Rebecca Reynolds, and Vinny Terlizzi. Followed by Q&A with the filmmakers. Screening order to be determined.
Alexander Philip Atienza is a filmmaker, artist, and writer. He has an MFA from the University of Southern California, where he studied film and television production, and a BA from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied cognitive science and philosophy.
Pat Doyen makes, preserves, programs and writes about films and other media arts. She works independently and as part of the Arsenic Cookie Film Collective in Baltimore, MD. By day she is a film archivist with a passion for home movies and orphan films. Her work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and she has taught hand processing and filmmaking workshops for both children and adults. She is a contributor to "The DIY Guide to Film & Video" published by Parcell Press and editor of the book "Hell Yeah! Heavy Metal Parking Lot @ 30".
Rebecca Reynolds uses cinematic "parlor tricks" to construct and pervert systems of logic with surreal and provocative imagery. Ideas are played out through uncanny juxtapositions within a divided frame, created with 16mm Bolex camera and matte box. She is currently experimenting with phytogram image-making on 16mm and 35mm film.
Vinny Terlizzi - My work explores themes of perception, memory, and transformation, to reconsider the familiar. I use a mix of 16mm original negative, digital video, found footage, and visual effects to create new works. My process is driven by a fascination with how images, shapes and sounds can be deconstructed and reassembled, using repetition, color manipulation, digital glitches, and other effects to evoke something entirely new. I’m interested in reimagining the familiar and pushing the boundaries of footage while maintaining a sense of engagement.
