TBA:14 THE WORKS
In Favor of Skepticism
by Cinema Project
No need to stay fixed to your seat, no need to act as passive viewer, or sit in reverence of the image. Tonight we privilege the soundtrack as a way to suspend the normal functioning of film. In Favor of Skepticism is a re-viewing of materials from the Letterist and Situationist movements in which words will be shifted, translated, and overlayed onto, from, and between language and medium. The evening begins with a live interpretation of the original script for Guy Debord's 1952 anti-film Hurlements en Faveur de Sade/Howlings for Sade. This unrealized version will be performed by artist and poet Nour Mobarak. Screening of a Letterist film will follow the performance where audience participation may be encouraged.
