Sarah Pucill‘s 16mm film, Blind Light will be screening in Chicago as part of ‘Video Data Bank Presents: Roundabout Featuring Light Cone’ on Thursday 12 December.
With ROUNDABOUT, Video Data Bank (VDB) invites fellow moving-image archives and distributors to collaborate on a conversational program of short experimental works,] by responding to a selection of works from VDB’s collection with a selection from their own. This program’s collaborator, Light Cone, is a nonprofit organization whose aim is the promotion and preservation of experimental cinema in France and around the world since its founding in 1982. Its primary mission is the distribution of the works in its catalog, which numbers nearly 7,000 titles, in their original format whenever possible, to cultural organizations such as nonprofits, cinemas, museums, universities, galleries, and festivals. Artists featured in this program include Janice Tanaka, Paolo Gioli, Semiconductor, Sarah Pucill, Stephanie Barber, and Christian Hossner. (VDB) Dialogue: Mariya Nikiforova (Light Cone) and Emily Faith Martin (VDB).
The Gene Siskel Film Center presents a curated collection of international, independent, and classic cinema reflective of Chicago’s diverse community.
