MIX NYC

We are thrilled to be screening Anthem by Marlon Riggs on Saturday! This experimental music video politicizes the homoeroticism of African-American men. With images—sensual, sexual and defiant—and words intended to provoke, Anthem reasserts the “self-evident right” to life and liberty in an era of pervasive anti-gay, anti-Black backlash and hysterical cultural repression. #MarlonRiggs #EveOishi @mediapraxis #MarisHicksAlcaraz #queerfilm #blackqueerlove #blackqueer #queerfilm #queerart @_niknaz_ @parnesspoodle @thebmichael @heather_renee_russ @framelinefest @anthologyfilmarchives (at Anthology Film Archives) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5GWePfl2i1/?igshid=1c3xr8rat3qi3

Empathy: This documentary film follows a heroin-addicted professional escort as she moves between New York City, Pittsburgh, and Los Angeles. Combining frank images of the actual labor of sex work with intimate portraits of her interpersonal life, the film is an alternately humorous and harrowing look at a seldom depicted side of American life as well as a meditation on the performativity at the core of documentary filmmaking and the sex industry alike. Written in close collaboration with its subject/star, Empathy marks the feature-length directorial debut for Jessie Jeffrey Dunn Rovinelli. . . . #mixnyc, #queerfilm @heather_renee_russ @_niknaz_ @parnesspoodle @thebmichael @mediapraxis @jdr____llc @100yearfilms @anthologyfilmarchives (at Anthology Film Archives) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5EVJLjlb07/?igshid=dvlt3bz3ien2

Repost: @balawadhi Thanks to the wonderful @schulmanny my memoir film ‘dekedens is screening this year at @mix_nyc.filmfestival showcase at @anthologyfilmarchives , 5 years after its production. The film explores my childhood and teenage years in Kuwait through war, religious immigration, and queer Arab cinema. As I’m extremely conflicted about this film, this might be its only screening. So come and see it with me! 8pm Sunday, November 24th at Anthology Film Archives. . . . . . . #kuwait #bahrain #iran #iraq #bahai #arab #arabcinema #queercinema #queer #history #gulf #gulfwar #queerarab #trauma #war #immigration #religion #domestic #childhood #mixnyc #anthologyfilmarchives #lgbtq https://www.instagram.com/p/B5DvPB3lQin/?igshid=p9bqbh2akhq6

Ciriza is a multidisciplinary artist and filmmaker whose works are explorations of states of fluidity and transmutation.  Her performances and films use the body to explore the fragile threshold between being and not being. Rooted in the medicinal, her works illuminate the possibilities of healing and metamorphoses within the opacity of shadow and murk. Ciriza will be screening, Sunsets Caramelizados, as a part of the HYMNIC series. . . . @unapersonna @heather_renee_russ @_niknaz_ @parnesspoodle @thebmichael @mediapraxis #mixnyc  #queerfilm #ciriza (at Anthology Film Archives) https://www.instagram.com/p/B48Zy0-lM8v/?igshid=skygskfanigf

Short Film Highlight! Coyolhauhqui by Colectivo Los Ingrávidos: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos is a collective of filmmakers and activists mainly based in and around Mexico City. Their work is characterized by both radical form work and a direct response to the political turbulence, the violence and the corruption that is a highly tangible reality in Mexican society. Mass disappearances, political and military corruption and feminine cleansing - femicide - are some subjects that the collective stays with . . . #mixnyc, #queerfilm @zonaingravida (at Anthology Film Archives) https://www.instagram.com/p/B43cmE5FxW4/?igshid=1vxtta8bj1pe8
