⁃ The Girl from Marseilles
⁃ Untitled (For Anthology)
⁃ On the Line
⁃ earthearthearth
⁃ terrestrial sea
Cathy Lee CRANE has crafted award-winning lyrical films of speculative history for over 30 years with Fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, the New York Foundation of the Arts, and the New York Council for the Arts. She was named 2022 Artist-in-Residence at the Farocki Institut in Berlin and her first survey was presented in 2015 as part of the American Original Now series at the National Gallery of Art. Since 2017, her multi-platform work Drawing-the-Line has produced two short films, a feature documentary, and installations exploring the US/Mexico borderlands. This work has been supported by the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center Residency Program & the El Paso Community Foundation. She is Professor of Film at Ithaca College in New York.
A 2025 Guggenheim Fellow in Film-Video, Daïchi Saïto is an award-winning Japanese-born film artist. Saïto divides his time between Ithaca, New York, and Montréal, where he co-founded the artist film collective Double Negative in 2004. His work explores the relationship between the corporeal phenomena of vision and the materiality of film, fusing formal investigations of frame and juxtaposition with sensual, poetic expressions.
The screening will include a brief introduction and a talkback after the screening.
