We live in bodies that move through the world, creating physical narratives. Through the use of gesture, a language develops between internal experience and the external world. An extension of the body, a strategy, a phrase, gestures communicate ideas that transcend words. What does it mean to embody an idea? How does expressing a gesture change through the chosen medium? This hybrid program will explore the language of gestures and the experience of pain, joy, fragility, and strength via single-channel video and live performance movement works.
Kym McDaniel (she/her/hers) is an experimental filmmaker, media artist, and choreographer currently based in what is now known as Binghamton, NY.

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.
NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES.
