Hurricane Season
My co-programmer Meredith Drum and I have put together a screening for ISSUE Project Room happening on September 15th at 8:00PM. Hurricane Season is an evening of experimental documentary shorts reflecting the recent history of the Gulf region of the US. Most of the work has been made since Katrina, some this year. Excerpts from Robert Flaherty’s Louisiana Story and Tony Oursler’s 1982 Son of Oil will also be shown.
Artists to be screened: Ghen Dennis, Courtney Egan and Helen Hill, Robert Flaherty, Liza Johnson, Christina McPhee, Tony Oursler, Gretchen Skogerson and Pawel Wojtasik.
