JENNIFER REEVES

September 18 – September 20

Anthology welcomes film artist Jennifer Reeves for a weekend of screenings encompassing her most recent work – the extraordinary THE GLORIA OF YOUR IMAGINATION (screening in both double- and single-screen versions) – as well as the earlier dual-projection piece, WHEN IT WAS BLUE, and a short film program encompassing 1996’s CHRONIC (Reeves’s early, unflinching portrait of mental health struggles, a theme revisited in GLORIA), alongside rarely seen videos, and a sneak-peek of a work-in-progress.

“Reeves, who does not conceal her admiration for Brakhage, stands firmly on the side of those for whom the art of filmmaking involves the texture and eventual manipulation of 16mm stock…. Structurally, Reeves has held a daring position – at the boundaries between several forms of sexuality…; pushing the limit between sanity, obsessional memories, private madness and societal follies; at the intersection between psychological disorders, cultural artifacts and the process of obscuring/enlarging one’s vision and consciousness by accumulating layers of images on one strip of film.” –Bérénice Reynaud, SENSES OF CINEMA
