As part of the Dreamlands film series, Raha Raissnia’s film Free Way (Part II) screens in The Color of Light, a program of artists engaging in the material, sensory and optical qualities of film, painting directly onto celluloid, layering images, and multiple exposures, covering film leader in liquids, scratching, stomping, drawing on and chemically altering the film’s surface, and shifting back and forth between the real world and its vibrant kaleidoscopic abstraction.
This screening takes place on January 20, 2017. Learn more.
