“Blowing out birthday candles. Unwrapping a candy. Feeding chickens. Dancing with the tremors of Parkinson’s. Searching for one’s namesakes across the internet. Bringing together works by moving image artists Kevin Jerome Everson, Barbara Hammer, Margaret Tait, Sarah Friedland, Wen Hui, Simone Forti, and John Smith, the seven short films across this program present an assemblage of the everyday gestures and movements of older adults, refracted across a range of moving image forms from dance for camera to experimental essay film.” —Sarah Friedland
