About

A screening of films by Brooklyn-based artist and filmmaker Leslie Thornton. Thornton’s films and video’s explore the limits of cinema, video and digital media. The screening is followed by a Q&A with the artist. Thornton responds to the pulse of cultural and technological history, breaking new ground with each project, while celebrating the enormous capacity of media to challenge what we consider art, politics, storytelling and representation itself. She is known for engaging a range of charged subjects, from Orientalism to the exfoliations of war, to the disposition of non-human species. Her endeavor is to “position the viewer as an active reader, not a consumer”.
