press release: The Cosmic Rays Film Festival Tour makes a stop at Mills Folly Microcinema with a program that investigates the nature of vision and visuality. The Look and Learn program will screen on Wednesday, December 14 at 7:00 p.m at Arts + Literature Laboratory, Admission $5.00, free for ALL members. Limited seating.
The Cosmic Rays Film Festival, founded by filmmakers Sabine Gruffat and Bill Brown in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is an annual celebration of short films that expand our idea of what film is and what it can be. The Look and Learn program, curated by John Winn, foregrounds the materiality of the image, featuring work that makes innovative use of found footage, archival documents, scientific imaging, new media, drones, and celluloid. These films ask us to consider how the visual world is historically, technologically, and sensorially structured.
Filmmakers will include Janie Geiser, Stephanie Barber, Caitlin Craggs, Mary Helena Clark, Marianna Milhorat, Ross Meckfessel, Karissa Hahn, Caroline Key, and Alexander Stewart. Curated by John Winn, the program running time is 73 minutes.
