Siren compositions from over 20 contemporary musicians form a resonant voice to ask; Does an alarm have to be alarming?  \nAura Satz’s inventive documentary\, the latest iteration of the artist’s ongoing project on sirens\, is sonic collage\, design history\, and thought experiment in equal measure. Filming in locations as varied as the Fukushima nuclear site in Japan and alert-system assembly lines in the US\, Satz considers the siren as a cipher for contemporary ideas of emergency and preparedness. A relic of World War II and Cold War infrastructure\, today the siren can be read as a warning sign\, a crisis management tool\, an emblem of climate collapse—and even\, in the age of predictive policing\, a threat in and of itself. Preemptive Listening features original compositions from over 20 experimental musicians reimagining what form the siren can take\, from harp melodies to the rumbling of the Earth’s core. Breaking free from the weight of catastrophes past\, Satz’s film conjures alternative ways to respond to the siren’s call as a path toward possible futures.  \n89 minutes\, 2024. Digital Projection. UK/Finland. Directed by Aura Satz. Featuring compositions by Laurie Spiegel\, Sarah Davachi\, Moor Mother\, Raven Chacon\, Camille Norment. \n \n\nExperimental Tuesdays is a free public series featuring celebrated work of contemporary and historical artist-made film and video. This weekly series presents films and artists that explore the creative and critical potential of moving images. It also amplifies marginalized voices by hosting artists that represent diverse populations\, such as LGBT\, Native American\, Black and Latinx artists. Hosted by the Department of Film\, Video\, Animation & New Genres\, and presented in partnership with 51’s Union Cinema\, this series is a bedrock of the Milwaukee arts landscape. Recent screenings include Silvia das Fadas\, Courtney Stephens\, Simon Liu\, Helena Wittman\, Jessica Bardsley\, Suneil Sanzgiri\, Mary Helena Clark\, Angelo Madsen Minax\, and Rhayne Vermette to name a few.

Letia Solomon DESCRIPTION:Date & TimeThursday\, October 23\, 2025 (7:30–9 p.m.) \n\n\nLocationVirtual \n\n\nThe art of cinematic language isn’t only reserved for big screen features and shorts. In recent years\, serial programming has been finding its way back to the hearts of media lovers. There is a specific type of depth\, nuance and audacity that can exist on the television screen that differs from theatrical releases. This creative difference has allowed many film directors to dip their toe into the episodic landscape\, flexing their style\, voice and commitment to a collective understanding of a serialized show. With this rising interest in television\, we are hosting an artist talk with an Emerging Film Director\, who has made her mark into the episodic landscape and proved that there is a best of both worlds. \nLetia Solomon is an award-winning DGA director and producer and former Chemical engineer based in Los Angeles. She made her television directorial debut on Season 7 of ABC/Shondaland’s STATION 19 and was a fellow of the 2024 Disney CTDI Directing Program\, Ryan Murphy’s HALF Initiative Program and Netflix’s 2023 Episodic Directors on the Rise Masterclass. Letia directed the coming of age pilot set on a HBCU campus\, 3 BLIND MICE\, which won Essence Film Festival’s 2024 Audience Choice Award for Best Indie Pilot and a comedic mockumentary short\, CLONES\, which won the 2022 Lionsgate/STARZ Award for Best Speculative Fiction Film. Her MFA thesis film from the University of Southern California\, THE CYPHER\, about a queer black rapper\, premiered at the 2020 Tribeca Film Festival and ABFF HBO Competition. She then wrote and directed a medieval fantasy romcom THE QUEEN\, THE KNIGHT\, AND THE WITCH which was a finalist in the 2022 Tribeca x CHANEL Through Her Lens Program and is currently in post. Letia loves to tell bold stories for both film and television. \n \n\nThis artist talk is free and hosted virtually.
