RUBICON CINEMA presents the 8th event of avant-garde cinema in Akron featuring internationally-acclaimed experimental filmmaker CHARLOTTE PRYCE and Cleveland-based filmmaker BRUCE CHECEFSKY.

PROGRAM:

CHARLOTTE PRYCE, A collection of short films, 21 min, 2011-2015, 16 mm
Charlotte Pryce explores proto-cinematic structures of reverie: juxtaposing the real and the imagined to create deeply saturated, fleeting illuminations that hover on the periphery of vision. Her work is infused with an optical and photochemical consciousness that delights in catoptric playfulness and paradox.

Films:

Discoveries on the Forest Floor, 16mm / silent / 4 min / 2007

The Parable of the Tulip Painter and the Fly, 16mm / silent / 4min / 2008

Looking Glass Insects, 16mm / silent / 3 min/ 2013

A Study in Natural Magic, 16mm / silent / 3 min / 2013

Prima Materia, 16mm / silent / 3 min / 2015
