Maya Deren Theater Out of the Scene (House of Frame by Frame Fierce, 2001, USA, video, color, sound, 1 min.) Using a comic-book style, Out of the Scene shows Pauline, a transgender girl, as she considers the unsafe things she did in the past in order to become a woman. Spent • (Wil Lin, 2000, USA, video, color, sound, 2 min.) Consumed in his idealization of a distant man, this Japanime cherub-faced boy threatens with a fatal attraction. The Scar (Leslie Satterfield, 2000, USA, digital video, b&w, sound, 6 min.) An ethereal dream/fairy-like glow centered on manipulated memory, projection or imagination. Be prepared to account for the contours of your own body! Basement Girl (Midi Onodera, 2000, USA, 16mm, color, sound, 12 min.) Abandoned by her lover, a young woman finds comfort and safety in mundane routines, a diet of junk food and the warmth of the television set. Somewhere: Portraits of the Other (Gui Garakot Prasartkul, 2001, USA, video, color, sound, 18 min.) Densely layered, the filmmaker's personal narrative struggles between the ambivalence of geographic dislocation and the certainty of belonging in her lover's arms. Since Then •• (Robert Kennedy, 2001, Canada, digital video, color, sound, 3 min.) When you realize you're experiencing everything alone once again, including materiality, it all seems painfully significant. Why Pay Two Rents? • (Remy Weber, 2001, USA, 16mm, color, sound, 28 min.) This elderly gay couple has been asking that very question for 40 years. Following them from bohemian Greenwich Village of the 60s to suburban country domesticity of the present, the documentary depicts a refreshingly unresolved (or frighteningly unprocessed) partnership.
