Still Birds in Shifting Places
@ The Nightingale
1084 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60642
Opening Monday, February 25th, from 7PM - 10PM
The Nightingale Cinema is delighted to present the works of three international female filmmakers for a night of travels and contemplation. Camille Laut takes us to the coastal side of California, a cliff abstracted into a body, breathing through the filmmaker’s handheld camera in which we immerse. While in Cuba, Paloma Rincón’s character looks at herself through the birds she observes and a zooming lens sensorially drives us into her constrained world. It is winter when we land in Sarajevo, where Emma Rozanski’s powerful minimalism stumbles over the fantastic as Damir’s monotonous order is disrupted by Tasya’s imposing system.
Camille Laut — Black’s Beach | (2016, HD, sound, color, 16:9, 05:37)
A place portrait of A. and Black’s Beach – one of San Diego’s nude beach. Accompanied by a soundscape recorded at The Annenberg Community Beach House in Santa Monica.
Paloma Rincón — ¿Deberíamos acercarnos a los pájaros? (Should we get near to the birds?) | (2016, HD, sound, color, 16:9, 05:00)
Emma Rozanski — Papagajka (The Parrot) | (2017, 2K, sound, color, 16:9, 1:21:00)
A stranger arrives in Sarajevo and barges into Damir’s reclusive world. Little by little she takes over his life. She absorbs his dreams. Until finally she threatens his very existence.
