Virtual Open House & Artist Talk @theirisfilmers
Sunday May 30th 10:30am
For this WORK IN PROGRESS residency, Iris Film Collective member Nisha Platzer will be continuing work on her feature film BACK HOME, a kaleidoscopic piece reflecting on the life and loss of her older brother Josh, who took his own life in 1999. Parts of the film are shot on Super 8mm and 16mm and then manually altered to create an expressive and disturbing visual quality. During the month of May Nisha will be trying out different techniques with the aim of finding the right aesthetic for these more abstract sections of the film.
On Saturday May 29th at 9pm, Nisha will screen some of her recent creations in the Fieldhouse window. The event will also be livestreamed on Instagram Live @theirisfilmers

On Sunday May 30th at 10:30am Nisha will host a Virtual Open House where the public is welcome to have a look at the work she has been doing at the Fieldhouse this month. This will be held on Instagram Live @theirisfilmers
