Marie Menken’s films are fragmentary encounters with friends, landscapes and her urban surroundings. This screening is introduced by Melissa Ragona, Assistant Professor of Visual Culture and Critical Theory at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, and authour of ‘Swing and Sway: Marie Menken’s Cinematic Events’ (in Women Experimental Filmmakers, Duke University Press, 2007). A conversation between Ragona and curator Lucy Reynolds followed the screening.
