Join us this Wednesday for the second event in our Spring Screening Series, featuring work by contemporary filmmaker Sofia Theodore-Pierce! All our screenings take place in the Jerome Liebling Center, room 120 at 7pm.

Sofia Theodore-Pierce is a teaching artist and filmmaker. Their nonfiction films balance choreographed engagement with collected ephemera and unrehearsed home movie aesthetics to explore the spaces, bodies, and social structures we inhabit.

"With a handful of short works, Sofia Theodore-Pierce has cultivated a uniquely frenetic mode of diary filmmaking that refracts subjective experience through a pantheon of feminist influences, the weight of color and objects, and the singular character of her mother. Theodore-Pierce’s lived experience with epilepsy informs a stroboscopic to-and-fro; bursts of brightly contrasted 16mm film stock and intimate soundscapes enclose the vast reaches of memory in a music box of affective pleasures, set to the rhythms of nature. Letters and poetry play off the doleful thrum of conversation, while literary spirits stalk the frame, stirring the dust of quotidian life. Charged with queer eroticism, these films mark their viewer gently, like the remembered touch of a distant lover." ––Inney Prakash

Sofia will join us for an in-person Q&A after the screening!
