Sunset Kino: Zombies, Insomniacs and Gary

Wed, 31 July 2019, 9pm
Zombies, Insomniacs and Gary
Curated by Omer Fast (DE/IL).

Loretta Fahrenholz, Ditch Plains, 2013
Shot in New York during and after the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Ditch Plains veers between moody documentary and a post-apocalyptic portrait of the zombies and freaks who survived the ordeal.

Mika Rottenberg, Bowls Balls Souls Holes, 2014
Bowls Balls Souls Holes begins with an episode of insomnia and burrows deep into the earth below a Bingo parlor. Along the way, a cast of mostly female, mythical characters presents us with what feels like a cosmic mystery.

Stan Douglas, I’m Not Gary (From Monodramas), 1991
The shortest piece in the program is also the sharpest: A white man mistakes a black man for being someone else. Both comic and tragic, it’s a daily occurrence. Nothing has changed. What else is new?
