Missed the cutoff for the weekly listings, but I am very excited to present
this show at Millennium this Thursday! Beautiful films screening on 16mm,
Super 8, and 8mm! Hope to see some of you there!

This *Thursday March 5th* at 7:30pm, Millennium Film Workshop is
excited to welcome filmmaker *ROSS MECKFESSEL* to present a survey of his
own work from the past five years; from the hand-processing and optical
printing of *untitled (I)*, the puzzle structure of *Cheryl*, the diaristic
making-of document Invocation of *Invocation of Uzi*, the intricate
in-camera editing of *untitled (times for)*, the simple lyrical
single-strand *Gita*, to newer work like *The Golden Hour* which draws
complex connections between place, pop culture, and classical sculpture.
Concluding the program will be an excerpt from his newest work-in-progress *A
Century Plant in Bloom (For Ingrid and Roberto)* which is an extension of
his interests in pop music and experimental structures.
All films are New York premieres. Many one-of-a-kind artist made prints and
film originals to be screened. Meckfessel will be present for a Q&A after
the screening.

Ross Meckfessel (b. 1988) currently resides in New York. He works primarily
in Super 8 and 16mm film, often utilizing appropriated images, fragmented
narratives and pop music to create films that emphasize materiality and
filmic experience over linear storytelling. His films have screened
internationally and throughout the United States including at CalArts,
Onion City Film Festival, and The 100 Dollar Film Festival where he was
awarded best 16mm film.
Suggested admission $10 ($5 members)
Millennium Film Workshop is located in Bushwick, Brooklyn, on Johnson Ave
at Porter Ave. It is two blocks from the Morgan Ave station on the "L"
subway line.
