The following description comes from the event organizer.
Celebrated New York and Florida filmmaker Sasha Wortzel debuts her films on the West Coast in this one-night screening. Blending the archival and the imaginary, Wortzel uses film, video, installation, sculpture, sound, and performance to explore how the past haunts and inextricably shapes contemporary American life. Projects examine queer place-making, geographies of resistance, and the systems that marginalize, extract, and erase communities, peoples, and histories. For This is an Address, we have gathered five shorts spanning the last decade of Wortzel’s practice including an excerpt from Wortzel’s forthcoming feature-length film RIVER OF GRASS, which brings audiences on a journey through the past, present, and precarious future of the Everglades, an imperiled and iconic American region on the verge of collapse. The films will be followed by a Q & A with Wortzel.
