Mix '95: 9th New York Lesbian & Gay Experimental Film/Video Festival

Curated and Introduced by Jim Hubbard Artists Stuart Gaffney, Kadet Kuhne, and Charles Lofton in Person This show of work from MIX '95: The 9th New York Lesbian and Gay Experimental Film/Video Festival investigates the interaction that occurs when the maker intertwines the personal with larger historical and cultural forces. In essence, all these pieces offer personal views of history, though in very different ways. The first three works deal with family, moving from the maker to the family to the outside world. Stolen Shadows and Death's Angel search for ways to understand mortality. Re Generation and Holding Steady explore an individual's place in an historical understanding of AIDS. A Faustian Knot represents a different kind of history: Tom Chomont has been making films and videos since 1965, sustaining an historical continuum of lesbian and gay filmmaking. O Happy Day utilizes found footage (yet another type of history) to eroticize the Black Power movement and to invent a revolutionary moment in gay history.-Jim Hubbard Jim Hubbard has been making films since 1975 and curating film shows since 1980. In 1987 he co-founded the New York Lesbian & Gay Experimental Film Festival. Shot Through My Head (Kadet Kuhne, 7 (correction: 6) mins).
