SCREENING #4: Bodies Rest and Motion

Friday, April 5th at Artists’ Television Access
992 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA
8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

As San Francisco’s dank and verdant spring arrives, GAZE presents a zestful program of short moving image works that lay bare both streams of consciousness and shameless embodiment. Absurdity, queerness, and melodrama collide; the camera is a mirror, the screen is a diary.

Featuring film, video and animation by local and international women filmmakers.

992 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA
8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Walking the line between the natural and the mythic, GAZE’s most recent compilation of moving image works takes us deep into the pulse of the natural world, where the familiar textures of organic material give way to manipulated landscapes of the imagination.

Featuring film and video work by local and international women filmmakers.

SCREENING #2: Labor/Memorial

Saturday, August 25th at Artists’ Television Access
992 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA
8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

In our second showcase of local and international works by women filmmakers, GAZE presents a diverse collection of shorts that run the gamut from libidinal sorcery to deadpan melodrama.

Coming at the tail end of summer, Labor/Memorial includes a paean to the gendered dramas of home maintenance, and an occultist memorial that features the late great George Kuchar. We are excited to have many of the filmmakers in attendance this month, and can promise a lively Q and A along with an opportunity for the local filmmaking community to meet, conspire, and discuss our projects.

SCREENING #1: HOME

Thursday, May 17th th at Artists’ Television Access
992 Valencia Street
San Francisco, CA
8:00 pm – 10:00 pm

In its first showcase of local and international works by women filmmakers, GAZE presents a diverse collection of shorts on the concept of HOME.

When all is fleeting and ephemeral, what can we call home?  And are we ever truly at home? From the experimental unearthing and reassembly of family history to the voyeuristic gaze into the bedroom windows of strangers to the dreamlike Turkish beach resorts that offer a “home away from home”, this wildly varied collection questions the very concept of “home” while showcasing exciting experimental, documentary, and narrative work from seasoned and emerging women filmmakers, both locally and internationally. 
GAZE is excited to present, HOME.
