Recent experimental films that include a sonorous variety of local vernaculars, a kaleidoscopic self-portrait, an expressionist composition, 15 musicians in Beirut, and a call back to Earth-centered feminine wisdom. Kit Young & Allen Moore close the program with a live A/V performance that wonders how expressions of national grief might manifest.

A chant to the moon, ritualizing the crumbling effigies of patriarchy, opens the first scene of Venus Rising. A woman is seen summoning new life as she dances in a cloud of microbes. What is hidden becomes visible as her rhythmic and undulating body conjures natural forces. Electromagnetic phenomena cut through the atmosphere; a planetary awakening is taking place and now must be followed through.
