Apr 4th 2019

Open Studio with Documentary Filmmakers Meredith Zielke and Yoni Goldstein:

*Conversation* led by Calum Walter, filmmaker, artist, and sound designer and instructor in
Northwestern University MFA in Documentary Media in the Department of Radio, Television and Film.

*Screening* of excerpts from “A Machine to Live In,” Zielke and Goldstein’s new sci-fi documentary linking the cosmic power structures of the state to the mystical architecture of cults and utopian cities in the distant hinterlands of Brazil. This hybrid film provides a complex portrait of life, poetry, and myth set against the backdrop of the space-age city of Brasília and a flourishing landscape of UFO cults and transcendental spaces

*Q&A and refreshments!*
Free, non-ticketed, and public welcome!

About the artists:

Meredith Zielke and Yoni Goldstein are Winter 2019 Artists in Residence, co-sponsored by the Department of Radio/Television/Film’s MFA in Documentary Media program and the Kaplan Humanities Institute. They make video documentary work / fabled documentaries / hyper-real documentaries which leak fiction into nonfiction, and vice versa, creating fantastical depictions of concrete landscapes. They ask “What can experimental documentaries do in the age of the neural image?”
