    An Evening with Rhayne Vermette and Inney Prakash

    51ΑΤΖζ Union Cinema 2200 E. 51ΑΤΖζ., Milwaukee, WI

Primarily self taught, Rhayne’s films are opulent collages of fiction, animation, documentary, reenactments and divine interruption. Ste. Anne is her first feature narrative. Inney Prakash is a film curator based in New York City.

    Experimental Tuesdays: to sense, to animate, to enliven

    51ΑΤΖζ Union Cinema 2200 E. 51ΑΤΖζ., Milwaukee, WI

    Letting etymology lead, this program brings together works of animation as a kind of animating spirit: films that expand beyond the frame and films that sense and are sense. As an archival activation, we ask the films what they’ve been dreaming about in their hibernation and ask an audience to meet and mingle.

    Experimentals Tuesdays: Short films by Amir George

    51ΑΤΖζ Union Cinema 2200 E. 51ΑΤΖζ., Milwaukee, WI

    Amir George creates spiritual stories, juxtaposing soundΒ and image with a non-linear perception. He creates fragmented vignettes that conjure the secret life of objects both found and collected. The characters that inhabit his stories tend to dwell outside of social norms and exist in the space between and in the process of becoming.
