Film series: Experimental Lens
Cornell Cinema has been proudly presenting artist films and experimental cinema since its inception.
"Experimental Lens" highlights the work of emerging and established filmmakers who are pushing boundaries and expanding the expressive potential of moving image work. It feature thematic programs that include an eclectic mix of films from around the world and are devised in collaboration with partners across campus and beyond.
Wherever possible, filmmakers will be invited to discuss their work and films will be presented in their original formats.
The fall program features:

Questions of dislocation and the domestic surface in Maya Deren’s Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), Laida Lertxundi’s Inner Outer Space (2016) & Chantal Ackerman’s News from Home (1976)
Presented in collaboration with Professor Patty Keller's comparative media course “Experimental Screens”
aemi presents: The Said and the Unsaid
Thursday, November 13, at 6pm
Filmmakers Frank Sweeney and Jonathan O’Grady join for a

This initiative is supported by a grant from the Cornell Council for the Arts.
