SUMMARY:Opera Action Figures Installation
DESCRIPTION:Stop motion animations by Thetford based twins sisters Amy and Terry Lawrence on display alongside their sets and figurines.\nARTIST STATEMENT\nWe loved the Metropolitan Opera’s production of Akhnaten so much we decided to make an animated version. In the spirit of making it up as we went along\, we sewed costumes\, built a set\, lit it and filmed it. Amy had made stop-action animation before but never with the small wooden dolls called artist’s mannequins. We had to learn how these faceless dolls could express emotion–through body language\, the tilt of a head\, how they walked\, climbed stairs or juggled. There was lots of juggling. \nThe process was so engrossing we began looking for other music we loved so we could create a story to go with it (Gershwin Station)\, or a story we loved (The Magic Doll) that needed music to fit. (Sibelius\, who knew?)  The Prisoner’s Song was a 1920s recording that told its own story. Thank You\, Mr. Sondheim was a tribute featuring sets and characters from 18 shows in four minutes. \nAnimation allows Terry’s theatre background to blend with Amy’s film background. Terry can build models and sets while Amy experiments with pans\, tilts and action-movie montages (Ninja Nannies—note the obscure but wonderful Bob Seger score). It’s always about music and story. The only question is whether we’re making music videos (Moon Buggy) or musicals? \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nTerry Lawrence has an MFA in Theatre/Set Design and experience in model-making\, props and set painting. She has found that directing for the stage helps when it comes to moving little wooden people around. \nAmy Lawrence is a former professor of Film and Television at Dartmouth College. She has made animated films in several old-school formats including fabric shot on film\, needlepoint animated in Photoshop\, and puppet films made with Dragon. She currently makes films with her sister in their mom’s basement.

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Orlando\, My Political Biography
DESCRIPTION:Writer\, philosopher\, and now filmmaker\, Paul B. Preciado’s newest work is poetic in form and function. Hybridizing literary adaptation with modes of fiction and nonfiction filmmaking\, Preciado uses Virginia Woolf’s 1928 century-spanning\, gender-bending romance\, Orlando: A Biography\, as a template for the modern trans experience. Interlacing passages from the novel with contemporary testimonies\, including the filmmaker’s own\, the film fashions its focus on “gender poets\,” those whose lives transcend the bounds of binary expression. Preciado’s cast of contemporary Orlandos offer intimate access and playful insight into their experiences with hormones\, gender-affirming care\, institutional erasure\, and the political positioning of trans-people subjected to a normative regime. No two stories are the same\, and\, yet\, somehow Woolf’s fantastical biography contains them all. \n“Preciado’s superpower in this warm\, generous movie is that while he speaks brilliantly to the cages of identity\, he sees — and shares — a way out of them. He talks and listens\, he exhorts and confesses. He insists on pleasure\, speaks to happiness\, invites laughter and opens worlds. Here\, joy reigns supreme\, and it is exhilarating.” – The New York Times \n“Part trans documentary\, part autobiography\, and part adaptation\, Orlando\, My Political Biography\, finds Preciado grappling with the possibilities and limits of this novel he loves.” – Autostraddle \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: Joonam
DESCRIPTION:Filmmaker Sierra Urich grew up in rural Vermont\, a place and an upbringing far removed from Iran\, the homeland of her mother\, Mitra\, and grandmother\, Behjat. Only knowing Iran through family stories\, food\, and holidays\, and with the prospect of travel to the country a seemingly impossible dream\, she embarks on a personal quest to make sense of her fractured Iranian identity. Named for a Farsi term of endearment\, JOONAM is infused with humor and heart like only a film about family could be. Interrogating family history and memory\, including her grandmother’s experiences as a preteen bride and her mother’s rebellious teenage years during the Iranian Revolution\, Sierra Urich constructs a rich\, personal film that poignantly reflects the experiences of the Iranian diasporic community and speaks to anyone affected by the dislocation that accompanies immigration. \nFollowed by a talkback with the filmmaker! \n“A heartfelt exploration of those living within a diaspora\, the fractured connection each generation has to their own culture\, and the irrevocable bond of shared roots.” – Roger Ebert \n“An especially timely meditation on what it means to be Iranian American in this moment.” – PopSugar \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/

SUMMARY:WRIF Film: The Sweet East
DESCRIPTION:Smack in the middle of a high school trip to our nation’s capital\, self-possessed teen Lillian (Talia Ryder) breaks off from her classmates\, kicking off a journey straight down the rabbit hole of the New Weird America. In the rollicking feature debut for both director Sean Price Williams (known for his grotty-beautiful cinematography for films by Alex Ross Perry and the Safdie brothers) and critic-turned-screenwriter Nick Pinkerton\, the Eastern seaboard becomes the site for a deranged and hilarious autopsy of contemporary U.S. life in which Lillian becomes an indifferent sounding board to all manner of loquacious\, callous oddballs\, including a sexually numb\, white supremacist pedant (a delightfully committed Simon Rex) and a pair of wildly excitable indie filmmakers (Ayo Edebiri and Jeremy O. Harris\, comedy gold). Tying it all together is a performance of remarkable poise and confidence by Ryder (memorable in Eliza Hittman’s Never Rarely Sometimes Always)\, who provides the tender center to this cockeyed exhibition of all-purpose mockery. \n“A fresh take from outside the echochamber.” — Polyester Zine \n“Williams and Pinkerton fashion a panoramic burlesque of modern America from a series of barely exaggerated characterizations.” – Filmmaker Magazine \nTickets & Festival Passes Available Here: https://uvjam.org/wrif-2024/
