A Film Series
Flemington DIY is proud to present a series of important films from contemporary cinema’s most innovative artists. This series traces experiments in the landscape film. From the diaristic tendencies of New Queer Cinema’s graduate Jenni Olson and enfant terrible Caveh Zahedi to the quietly observational poeticism of Kevin Jerome Everson and Matt McCormick.
All screenings at 7:30pm. Bring snacks!
Each showing is accompanied by a short film.
Admission is free, but donations are welcome!
