SUMMARY:Media Activist Reflections From #ShutItDown Pipeline Protest with Filmmaker Deia Schlosberg [CANCELED/COVID]
DESCRIPTION:Due to COVID rates and concern for community safety\, this event has been CANCELED.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for a workshop with Deia Schlosberg before the screening of her film\, The Story of Plastic\, at 6pm! Deia Schlosberg (DIRECTOR/PRODUCER) made national news in October\, 2016\, when she was arrested and charged with 45 years’ worth of felonies for filming the #ShutItDown pipeline protest in North Dakota. Part of a worrying pattern of attacks on journalistic freedom\, her case led to an open letter to President Barack Obama co-signed by 30 celebrities. Deia produced Josh Fox’s climate change film\, How to Let Go of the World and Love All the Things Climate Can’t Change (Sundance/HBO). Deia also co-produced Awake\, A Dream from Standing Rock (Tribeca/Netflix)\, and The Reluctant Radical (2018). Deia also co-directed and produced Cold Love. Her short film\, Backyard\, a look at the human impacts of fracking\, won two student Emmys (Best Documentary\, Bricker Humanitarian Award).

SUMMARY:"The Cordillera of Dreams" Screening with Patricio Guzmán
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an on-demand screening of The Cordillera of Dreams and a workshop featuring master documentary filmmaker Patricio Guzmán with translator Daniel Mosquera. Winner of the Best Documentary award at the Cannes Film Festival\, master filmmaker Patricio Guzmán’s The Cordillera of Dreams completes his trilogy (Nostalgia for the Light\, and The Pearl Button) investigating the relationship between historical memory\, political trauma\, and geography in his native country of Chile. It centers on the imposing landscape of the Andes that run the length of the country’s Eastern border.  \n\n\n\nAt once protective and isolating\, magisterial and indifferent\, the Cordillera serves as an enigmatic focal point around which Guzmán contemplates the enduring legacy of the 1973 military coup d’état.  The film screening (a benefit for The Sanctuary for Independent Media arranged by Icarus Films) is available on-demand during any 48 hour window through May 28\, 2020.  Tickets are $12. In addition to our virtual screening of The Cordillera of Dreams we presented a Be The Media! workshop featuring a talk and Q&A with filmmaker Patricio Guzmán live from Paris on Friday\, May 22\, 2020.  Local filmmaker Daniel Mosquera\, professor of Hispanic and Latin American & Caribbean Studies at Union College\, will provide simultaneous translation.   \n\n\n\nThis event and screening is co-sponsored by iEAR Presents! and the School of Humanities\, Arts and Social Sciences at Rensselaer\, made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Film:\n\n\n\nAlong the way\, Guzmán interviews artists\, writers\, and documentarians\, drawing out their conflicted feelings towards the Cordillera and its relationship to Chilean national identity and history. Among the interviewees are Vincente Gajardo and Francisco Gazitúa\, sculptors who draw from the raw materials of the Cordillera to produce their artwork. Jorge Baradoit\, a writer of history and fiction\, discusses the continuation of Pinochet’s project in the social and economic structure of contemporary Chile. Musician Javiera Parra remembers the violence she witnessed as a child. The film’s prominent moral voice is Pablo Salas\, a filmmaker and archivist who has worked since the 1980s to document acts of political resistance and state violence. \n\n\n\nLooking at both the past and future\, Guzmán’s work rescues Chile from the threat of historical amnesia. He considers how the neoliberal economic policies introduced under the Pinochet regime have continued to stratify Chilean society along increasingly rigid class lines. The Cordillera may form an omnipresent backdrop to the Chilean landscape\, but\, like so many parts of the country\, much of it is privately owned and inaccessible to the vast majority of the population. Unflinching in its presentation of contemporary Chile\, The Cordillera of Dreams moves beyond despair and looks towards the possibilities of political change by linking the ideological struggles of the past with the inequalities of the present. \n\n\n\nPress about The Cordillera of Dreams:\n\n\n\n“Guzmán’s late-career trinity is a stunning achievement in the cinema of the hidden pattern and the startling\, unexpected connection.” —Variety \n\n\n\n“Deeply personal. In this poetic documentary\, Patricio Guzmán mediates on the past and future of his home country via the mountains that close it off from the rest of the world.” —Sight & Sound \n\n\n\n“Recommended! A fitting capstone to the director’s elegy for Chile’s tortured past that restates the trilogy’s fundamental point: like the Andes\, the nation survives\, but people must remember their past.” —Video Librarian \n\n\n\n“A prelude to Chile’s recent outcry.” —Americas Quarterly \n\n\n\n“Whatever the future holds for his native land\, Guzmán’s trilogy will have its place in their history.” —POV Magazine \n\n\n\n“Deeply beautiful and very deeply felt…one of the world’s finest working filmmakers.” —The Boston Globe \n\n\n\nAbout Patricio Guzmán:\n\n\n\nFrom The Battle of Chile\, filmed in black and white\, on 16mm film\, in the midst of social upheaval and revolution\, to Nostalgia for the Light\, filmed with modern digital technology\, filled with vibrant colors\, poetic connections and introspection\, Guzmán’s epic body of work is the unprecedented record of one country’s journey and one filmmaker’s evolution. \n\n\n\nBorn in Santiago de Chile in 1941\, Patricio Guzmán is one of the leading documentary filmmakers in the world.

SUMMARY:PREMIERE! Virtual Exhibition “Acquired Immunity” [FEMeeting WEB 2020] and Virtual Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:On March 11th we announced the cancelling of the first FEMeeting Troy and FEMeeting Paris for reasons connected with the COVID-19 pandemic. The two events scheduled for March 20th-21st 2020 marked the start of FEMeeting communities\, focusing on the support of research and artistic creation developed locally by individuals who identify as women. Instead\, Spring ’20 brought the flourishing of FEMeeting WEB\, dedicated to the presentation of digital\, alternative forms of gathering and overall encouragement to collective personal exchange in times of physical lock-down.  \n\n\n\nFEMeeting WEB 2020 is organized with Kathy High and Branda Miller\, from Media Sanctuary’s NATURE Lab Initiative (North Troy Art\, Technology\, and Urban Research in Ecology)\, and Annick Bureaud\, from Leonardo/Olats\, together with FEMeeting co-founders Marta de Menezes and Dalila Honorato\, with the support of Cultivamos Cultura. \n\n\n\nFEMeeting’s main purpose is to disseminate projects that are being carried out by women in its broadest interpretation (individuals who identify themselves as women\, cis-gender and non-cis-gender\, gender-fluid\, and independent of their sex and gender) in order to contribute (a) to the development of research methodologies in art and science and (b) to the development of collaboration strategies that can increase knowledge sharing and bring communities together. \n\n\n\nFEMeeting WEB 2020 includes the “Acquired Immunity” video podcasts sent by the members of the FEMeeting community at large\, the “All Women Crew Podcasts\,” and the 2020 Space Art Science Workshop organized to celebrate women in art\, astronautics and astronomy.  Artistic submissions were created in direct response to the COVID-19 crisis.  \n\n\n\nFEMeeting WEB 2020 is organized with Kathy High and Branda Miller\, from Media Sanctuary’s NATURE Lab Initiative (North Troy Art\, Technology\, and Urban Research in Ecology)\, and Annick Bureaud\, from Leonardo/Olats\, together with FEMeeting co-founders Marta de Menezes and Dalila Honorato\, with the support of Cultivamos Cultura. \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFEMeeting Herstory:\n\n\n\nLaunched in 2017\, the conference “FEMeeting: Women in Art\, Science and Technology” was driven by the desire to develop and promote more direct collaboration between individuals who identify as women. The idea behind FEMeeting was orchestrated by the Portuguese artist Marta de Menezes and scholar Dalila Honorato\, after realizing that women in the field of Art and Science have an unquestionable presence worldwide. FEMeeting acknowledges the social relevance of a core community and its role for the future.  \n\n\n\nThe two first FEMeetings took place in Portugal and were organized by Cultivamos Cultura. The outcomes of 2018 and 2019 conferences have been many and\, though most are intangible\, among the project’s distinguishable objectives there are: (a) a strong personal support through instant internet communication between women doing research work (in the broadest sense of the term) in art\, science and technology (b) and the encouragement towards the formation of local nodes to support research and artistic creation developed to enable a wide network of direct communication among them and encourage trust. In recognition of the vital role of grassroots creative praxis in building our growing global network\, FEMeeting announces its first community meetings taking place this Spring: FEMeeting: Troy 2020 and FEMeeting: Paris 2020. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVOICES: All Women Crew\n\n\n\nCelebrating Women in Art\, Astronautics and Astronomy \n\n\n\nFor the “All Women Crew” 2020 workshop\, we have created\, like last year\, a deck of cards. The workshop having been cancelled we have asked each of the participant to “play” remotely. Each participant has been asked to answer the same first question “what has attracted you to space” and then two other questions picked up by chance. Deck of Cards Proposition & Questions: Annick Bureaud. Cards Graphic Design: Quentin Aurat.

Apparently\, a space trip is a bumpy ride.  \n\n\n\nMy roots stretch back to Khabarovsk a Far Eastern city in Russia so far from the space industry\, I hid my space dream so deep that not a single person knew of my passion until 18 years later\, already in Stockholm\, Sweden\, after I had applied exclusively for Aerospace Engineering at KTH. Having evolved from someone who had once buried her dream to dig it back up half way around the globe to somebody friends call “the Mars girl”\, I would like to tell you never to give up on your dreams.  \n\n\n\nYou know\, there are many severe dust storms on Mars\, but remember to dust off your dream and remind yourself of what it was before the storm; my enduring dream is to contribute to the international human exploration of Mars. Nurture your dreams\, in many ways they make us who we are. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHélène Ben Aïm DrieuxPhD Engineer – Open Innovation Project Manager – CNES \n\n\n\nHélène Ben Aim Drieux is a “Maker”.

Since then\, Kitsou has flown on a series of 21 parabolic flights. In her creations\, from stage choreographies to video installations or hybrid productions\, Kitsou uses her experience and knowledge of weightlessness to explore movement\, perception of the environment and also the sensation of time\, the relation to matter\, the relation to others and the poetry of an environment where all familiar references seem to have been transformed. She works with performers (dancers and acrobats) in environments where the sensation of gravity has been altered: in water\, in parabolic flights\, in virtual reality set-ups (with sound and sensorial sensors) and also works closely with researchers in science and technology. In her artistic approach\, she works\, from the dance gesture perspective\, on the legibility of another space-time “nor heavy\, nor light”. She made dream-like pieces which trouble the perception of the audience. Movements alternate between losing point of reference and anchoring. A connection is made between the bodies of the dancers and that of the spectators\, uniting both in a common vertigo. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFélicie d’Estienne d’OrvesArtist \n\n\n\nThe work of Félicie d’Estienne d’Orves combines light\, sculpture and new technologies.
