(Barbara Hammer, 2006/1990, USA, 55 + 19 minutes)Free admission!
1920’s Surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore come to life in the hybrid documentary Lover Other. Lesbian lovers who became stepsisters, the gender-bending artists lived and worked together all their lives. Heroic resisters to the Nazis occupying Jersey Isle during WWII, they were captured and sentenced to death. Award-winning filmmaker Barbara Hammer infuses this film with vigor using photographs, archival footage, dramatic interludes of a “found Cahun script,” and unique interviews of Jersey Isle residents who knew the “sisters.”
Sanctus portrays a body in need of protection on a polluted planet where immune system disorders proliferate. Sanctus is a film of the rephotographed moving x-rays originally shot by Dr. James Sibley Watson and his colleagues. Making the invisible visible, the film reveals the skeletal structure of the human body as it protects the hidden fragility of interior organ systems.
With brief opening remarks from Dean Daderko, Ferring Foundation Chief Curator at the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
Co-presented with Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis.
