In-Person $10 suggested/free for members The VSW Film Archive holds over 5000 16mm films from public and university libraries. Ranging from educational to entertaining, these well-loved films are sometimes antiquated, often relevant, and always resonant. The SLUDGE project puts this unique 16mm collection to wild use, projecting and overlapping multiple films simultaneously. Shown in their entirety, the films featured in SLUDGE are treasured as whole media objects and enriched through fresh relationships with each other. The surprising combinations that emerge in a SLUDGE performance create expansive meanings, often becoming sublime or disturbing, absurd or humorous, hypnotic and scrambling. Now in its third iteration, this unique 16mm projection performance debuts in VSW’s new cinema space. You’ve got to see it to believe it – come experience the sensational SLUDGE for yourself!
