Filmforum: Still Moving: Cinema, Photography, and the Real

Screening

In Person: Domietta Torlasco

Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Real Worlds: Brassaï, Arbus, Goldin, this program offers thought-provoking films and videos that navigate the fertile terrain between still and moving images. Employing diverse formal and conceptual means, these works by Domietta Torlasco, Paul Sietsema, and others tackle the complex status of the reproducible image as both document and invention, posing timely questions about the systems of knowledge and constructions of identity often associated with film and photography, whether analog or digital.
