New Beginnings: Works by Ahwesh, Benning, Fonoroff
NEW BEGINNINGS is a recurring curatorial endeavor oriented to the presentation of historic works of international artist-made cinema in the contemporary context. This seasonal series intends to open space for new cinematic encounters, revive interest in forgotten (or not forgotten) classics, to problematize canons through the unearthing of unsung cinematic oddities, to provide fresh insights to well-known works, and to offer opportunities for guest curatorial input and experiment. Watch this space for development and send hot tips and suggestions to sfc@sfcinematheque.org.
New Beginnings for the New Year features a selection of SADIE BENNINGs proto-riot grrl PXLvision cine-confessions, PEGGY AHWESHs documentary-styled verité melodrama MARTINA'S PLAYHOUSE (1989) and Nina Fonoroffs THE ACCURSED MAZURKA (1994), an epic collage consideration of spiraling mental illness, recovery and identity. Created in the context of early 1990s feminism, these collected works explore contrasts between cinematic subjectivity and objectivity as well as strategies for the representation of self and other while blurring lines between documentary, performance and personal confession.
