Feb 13, 7:00 PM: Film and AIDS: Parting Glances

0
0
Mondays at Doc Films Film and AIDS: Early Queer Responses to the AIDS Epidemic Programmed by Daniel Schultz and Alex Wolfson Drawing from a range of directors, this series surveys a diversity of aesthetic reactions to the AIDS epidemic, from queer revolt to Hollywood recuperation. The films negotiate the somatic and psychic pressures of the illness by contesting the moral, racial, sexual, and gendered discourses that surround its experience, presenting film as a site of both political intervention and stylistic experimentation. Films include Gregg Araki's The Living End, Derek Jarman's Blue, and Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia. This series was supported by The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at the University of Chicago. 2/13/2017 @ 7:00 PM Parting Glances (Bill Sherwood, 1991) · The first mainstream film to directly address the AIDS epidemic shows gay life without the Reagan-era moralizing. The story is a 24-hour look into the lives of Robert and Michael, a gay couple living in New York, but the real focus of the movie is Nick (Steve Buscemi), an HIV positive musician. Buscemi, in a star making performance, gives a beautifully acted portrayal of an HIV positive gay man, adding grace and humanity to a stigmatized and stereotyped identity. runtime: 90m format: 16mm

Feb 15, 5:00 PM: "Lives:Visible" screening & discussion with ...

0

Join the Counter Cinema/Counter Media Project at the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality for a special screening of "Lives:Visible" followed by a discussion with filmmaker Michelle Citron. ABOUT THE FILM Lesbians in a box. That’s how I think of the trove of over 2000 snapshots that are the heart of my film, Lives: Visible. The photos were taken by Norma and Virginia who lived together as a lesbian couple in Chicago’s East Rogers Park neighborhood for almost 50 years. They died in their 80s leaving behind snapshots of themselves and their friends spanning over four decades, 1936 -1975. Lives:Visible is the second and final film I’m creating using Norma and Virginia’s photos. The first film, Leftovers, focused exclusively on Norma and Virginia during the last decade of their life when they were cut off from family and friends. Lives:Visible expands the story to explore the cultural and historical context of the photographs. Lives:Visible uses two cultures – Chicago’s vibrant pre-Stonewall lesbian community and the Kodak snapshot – to explore the ephemeral nature of all cultures, even life itself. ABOUT THE FILMMAKER Michelle Citron is an award-winning digital and film artist whose work includes the interactive narratives Cocktails & Appetizers, Mixed Greens, and As American As Apple Pie (collected at queerfeast.com) and the films Daughter Rite, Parthenogenesis, What You Take For Granted…, Leftovers, and Lives:Visible. She is the author of the award-winning book, Home Movies and Other Necessary Fictions. Her media art explores the lives of women – mothers and daughters, women in the workplace, the trauma of incest, lesbian culture – as well as ethnic identity. These works blend experimental styles with melodrama and an exploration of the border between documentary and fiction. An additional theme that flows through all Citron’s work is an examination of the autobiographical impulse, particularly as it is expressed through home movies, snapshots, and memoir. Citron’s work has been shown at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center, and the Museum of Contemporary Art/Chicago, as well as the New Directors, Berlin, London, Edinburgh, Oberhausen, NYMIX, and SeNef film and New Media festivals, among others. Her films and interactive narratives are distributed worldwide and are in the permanent collections of over two hundred universities and museums. She has received two National Endowment for the Arts Filmmaking Fellowships, a National Endowment for the Humanities Media Grant, and three Illinois Arts Council Artist Fellowships - for digital arts, filmmaking, and screenwriting. She’s holds a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Wisconsin. This event is free and open to the public.

Mondays at Doc Films Film and AIDS: Early Queer Responses to the AIDS Epidemic Programmed by Daniel Schultz and Alex Wolfson Drawing from a range of directors, this series surveys a diversity of aesthetic reactions to the AIDS epidemic, from queer revolt to Hollywood recuperation. The films negotiate the somatic and psychic pressures of the illness by contesting the moral, racial, sexual, and gendered discourses that surround its experience, presenting film as a site of both political intervention and stylistic experimentation. Films include Gregg Araki's The Living End, Derek Jarman's Blue, and Jonathan Demme's Philadelphia. This series was supported by The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality at the University of Chicago. 2/27/2017 @ 7:00 PM Fast Trip, Long Drop (Gregg Bordowitz, 1994) · A recently diagnosed Bordowitz is forced to stare down his own mortality. The film, loosely plotted around his memory of infection and anger at having been handed a death sentence, weaves scenes of intense personal vulnerability and political antagonism. Beautifully cut, this documentary combines a melancholic attachment to life with a fear and desire for death. The film plays alongside Bordowitz's "some aspects of a shared lifestyle."

Teenage Afghan refugee Sonita Alizadeh lives in a Tehran shelter, dreaming of a future as a rap superstar despite Iran’s prohibition against women singing in public, performing for kids at the shelter, and working as a cleaning woman.

Mar 13, 5:00 PM: Engendering Global Capitalism

0
0
Funded by a faculty grant through the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and organized Kimberly Hoang and Adom Getachew, this panel will examine how gender and global capitalism co-constitute different kinds of inequalities. The 2008 global financial crisis has spurred a renewed interest in histories of capitalism and political economy across a number of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This effort has sought to make the economy visible and legible to various forms of scholarly inquiry. However, missing form these existing conversations is a crucial gendered analysis. With a focus on Asia and Africa in particular, panelists will explore questions of finance, labor, debt and the gendered relations they produce, destabilize and reconstitute. Panelists: Ann Pitcher, Professor of African Studies and Political Science, University of Michigan Raka Ray, Professor of Sociology and South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of California Berkeley Jennifer Cole, Professor of Comparative Human Development, University of Chicago
