FUSE loves Images Festival

04 Mar 2013, Posted in Blog, News, 0 Comments

This month, as an Images Festival community partner, we are proud to support the following programs:

Friday 5 April, 7:00–8:00 PM @ Jackman Hall, AGO
Barbara Hammer
Witness: Palestine 
(2013, 30 min, with Live Performance)
We’ll be selling copies of our current issue, Palestine–Palestine for $5/ea and discounted subscriptions.

In Witness : Palestine, artist Barbara Hammer deftly layers film practice, politics and performance. Inspired in form by Italian artist Fabio Mauri’s 1975 performance in which he projected Pier Paolo Pasolini’s The Gospel According to St Matthew onto Pasolini himself, and in content by contemporary accounts of Palestinians living under the Israeli occupation, Hammer has created a work of startling intimacy and urgency.

Friday 19 April, 6:30–7:30 PM @ Jackman Hall, AGO
Lynne Sachs
Your Day is My Night
(2013, 64 min, Video, USA)
Named a must-see of the festival by Canadian Art!

Enter a draw to win a pair of tickets by joining our mailing list (just use the form in the right sidebar of this web page)! The winner will be announced at 12 noon Thursday 18 April.

In this captivating hybrid documentary shot in New York, director Lynne Sachs utilizes the bed as both starting and focal point for inquiry into the personal and collective experiences of a household of immigrants living in a “shift-bed” apartment in Chinatown. Initially documented in Jacob Riis’ controversial photography of the late 19th century, a shift-bed is a bed that is shared or rented in several-hour increments by people who are neither in the same family nor in a relationship. Since the advent of tenement housing in the Lower East Side, working class people have shared beds, making such spaces a definable and fundamental part of immigrant life. Over a century later, the shift-bed remains a necessity for many, triggered by socio-economic barriers embedded within the urban experience.
