In-Person (artist in attendence) $10 suggested/free for members Christopher Harris’s films are visually musical compositions that use experimental techniques to call attention to the political aesthetics of racism, capitalism and African American culture. Influenced by avant-garde cinema, jazz music, and archival media, Harris’s body of work includes 16mm film, HD video and multimedia installation. Harris’ films fluidly engage elements of duration, absence and silence to bring viewer’s attention to the experience of film as a temporal and spatial medium, while also celebrating the poetic, sensorial experience of the moving image and its associations. As part of our In Dialogue series, Harris has selected a program that includes films from the VSW archive along with his own works, including his most recent film, Speaking in Tongues: Take One. Christopher Harris will be in person for a Q&A following the screening.
