Artist in attendance for live performance.
Monday, April 7, 6:00 p.m. | Multidisciplinary artist Alee Peoples visits the Film Center from Los Angeles to present a selection of her 16mm films followed by a performance in collaboration with Jesse Malmed. Peoples' films are playful yet poised, full of U-turns, dry humor, and cinematic magic tricks. Her filmmaking is sculptural, using a DIY approach to reshape pedestrian images into powerful symbols. Come watch her transform words into smoke, fences into flags, and a pane of glass into almost anything you can imagine. Artist in attendance for live performance.
Program includes THEM ORACLES (2012), NON-STOP BEAUTIFUL LADIES (2015), SPOTLIGHT ON A BRICK WALL (2016, Made in collaboration with Mike Stoltz), CROWNING GLORY (2008), DECOY (2017), STANDING FORWARD FULL (2020) and HEY SWEET PEA (2023).
OFF CENTER is a basement. OFF CENTER is a backyard. OFF CENTER is a place to come hang and experience weird films together in the spirit of DIY filmmaking and the microcinema. Programmed by Michael Wawzenek.
The Film Center is ADA accessible. This presentation will be projected without open captions. The theater is hearing-loop equipped. For accessibility requests, please email filmcenter@saic.edu
