Welcome to this House is Hammer’s poetic documentary feature on the homes and lives of poet Elizabeth Bishop, about life in the shadows, and the anxiety of art making without full self-disclosure. An acclaimed pioneer of queer cinema, Barbara Hammer has produced more than 75 works, including early lesbian avant-garde films that remain of fundamental importance for a new generation of artists. Most recently, she was honored with retrospectives at MoMA (New York, 2010) and the Tate Modern (London, 2012).
Schnitzer Cinema series is programmed by Richard Herskowitz, JSMA curator of media arts and director of Cinema Pacific, with the help of Professor Quinn Miller. Free admission and refreshments! The Queer Productions series is cosponsored by Academic Affairs, College of Arts and Sciences, and Department of English.
