In this method of mining, a prospector searches for gold distributed in uneven constellations across an environment. Locating and excavating these clusters can result in unanticipated yields.
Both Sears and Speaker mine areas of American social and political history in their work, exploiting tropes, types, and traps through their own poetic digging and unearthing of our past and present.
Pocket Mining will feature several animated works from Sears and poems from Speaker, culminating in a collaborative moving image text work that explores underground emotional economies.
Kelly Sears is an animator and filmmaker based in Denver, CO. She uses experimental animation techniques to create hybrid narrative and documentary films. Her award-winning films have screened at festivals such as Sundance, Slamdance, South by Southwest, American Film Institute, Off+Camera Film Festival, Poland, Festival International de Films de Femmes de Créteil, France, and Tricky Women in Austria. She's also had retrospective programs of her short work at the Pacific Film Archives, Anthology Film Archives, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Portland Art Museum, and the SF Cinematheque. Sears is currently an Assistant Professor of Film Studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she teaches advanced filmmaking, animation, experimental documentary, and media archeology.
Mary Austin Speaker is a poet and book designer. She is the author of The Bridge (Shearsman Books, 2016), Ceremony (Slope Editions, 2012) and 20 Love Poems for 10 Months (Ugly Duckling Presse). She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she is Art Director for Milkweed Editions and coedits Society Editions, a publication project about poetry and power. She also works with her husband, poet Chris Martin, to publish chapbooks by neurodivergent writers with the imprint Unrestricted Editions.
Cellular Cinema is an organically evolving, ongoing screening series of experimental film, video, and performance. We are the only regularly occurring event in Minneapolis or St. Paul that features short form, experimental contemporary moving image art.
The Cellular Cinema community is dedicated to the idea that moving image art can be a realm of exploration, improvisation and play on a small scale, using a wide range of tools, techniques and technologies, unbound by the commercial considerations of mainstream narrative media.
We have the capacity to screen work on 16mm, super-8, sometimes with multiple projectors, sometimes including live sound or performance accompaniment, as well as HD and SD video.
