CONTENT WARNING:
This film is presented in with English subtitles.
These films and videos situate sexual desire and death as part of our physical surroundings. Sexual desire is an integral part of the universe, grows out of the landscape we live in, politics inexorably wound up in the journey, and death entwined with desire.

This short film program includes the following films:

A Cosmic Demonstration Of Sexuality

CONTENT WARNING:
A Cosmic Demonstration of Sexuality is a humorous yet serious investigation of the similarities between women's sexuality and cosmic structure. Interviews of five women regarding fundamental aspects of their sexuality (menstruation, masturbation, ejaculation, etc.) are inter cut with images ranging from the moon and far way galaxies to cells and dna in order to impart the notion that our sexuality might connect us with more than just our sex partner(s) or our right hands.

Geography Of The Imagination

A chronicle of the examined life, using metaphors from geography, language, literature, music and film. It asks if we can imagine the important things that shape us.

Memento Mori

CONTENT WARNING:
MEMENTO MORI tells about death .... It surpasses the formal inventory of feature film cinema to develop its own narrative structure as a filmic poem. ... [He] chooses ... Cinemascope–not as a visual gag, but as a necessary means to communicate his visual motives. ... [W]hen Hubbard shows a skull, or his friend in front of a still life, or a woman cleaning a room, he does not ... juggle with metaphors and symbols, but shows ... what lies behind the symbolic connotations of the images on screen: What is it like when a body doesn't move anymore? How does it feel –the ashes of the dead or the soil which covers a corpse?

in person
The identical twin Kinney Brothers return with a surreal horror story about three individuals caught in a struggle to survive in the rural Midwest of the early 1960s. This contemporary American folk tale explores the complex terrain of gay subjectivity and the cultural parameters of sexual behavior, possession and the law.
Demons is a dramatic horror story set in the rural Midwest in the late 1950's. The narrative focuses on Allie, a recently widowed woman struggling to operate a small hog farm with the support of her teenage son, Dayton. Allie's autonomy is repeatedly challenged as she staves off the vulturous opportunism of a corporate land prospector and the debts her husband left behind. In the midst of her difficulties arrives her brother-in-law, Gray, returning to the farm he fled fifteen years earlier. A suspect individual with rumors of mental illness in his past, Gray's attempts to insinuate himself back on the farm are repeatedly thwarted by Allie. Circumstances begin to knot as Gray pursues Dayton who reciprocates with the full passion of his burgeoning sexuality. In desperation, Allie devises a plan to circumvent the desire between Gray and Dayton; an effort as much to maintain control of her son as the land she tenuously possesses. Demons is a story of three individuals caught in the struggle to survive; fighting for their own autonomy and the often competing strength of sexual desire.
