THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8:
CURATOR: JONATHAN T.D. NEIL
SCREENING: A COLLECTION OF WORKS BY ISRAEL ARTIST NIRA PEREG
Though many and some of the most powerful of Nira Pereg's moving-image works harness the power of Israel's unique and difficult social and political reality, all of it stands as evidence of Pereg's willingness to let reality speak for itself.  Hers is not a documentary practice per se, but a means of letting, and sometimes making, things, people, and places speak in voices that few have taken the time to hear.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9:
CURATOR: JOHN PEARSON
SCREENING: PICTURE THIS
A program of videos that make sense from the conjured associations of images.  These videos convey a certain handling and interpretation - overt or subtle - of images structured in time.  Many of these videos were created parallel to or out of artists' performance, sculpture, painting, or photography practices.  For me these works push and provoke ideas about perception and photography, a photography that embodies both observation and proposition.

THRUSDAY, DECEMBER 15:
CURATOR: GLEN HELFAND
SCREENING: DAISES
A dazzling, madcap vision of social collapse, Czech director Vera Chytilov谩鈥檚 1966 Daisies is a pre-Velvet Revolution, banned when released Girls Gone Wild affair. In it, which liquid eyeliner, kaleidoscopic鈥攁nd astoundingly, pre-digital-- experimental cinema, political satire and a boozy gourmet food fight collide. Mayhem, and insatiable appetites have never looked quite as alluring.
