Inspired by the Menil Collection‘s retrospective of the drawings of Richard Serra, which is currently on display until June 10, Aurora Picture Show curator Mary Magsamen will screen a series of short films that focus on gestures and lines created through animation, documentary and/or computer graphics.
This is an outdoor screening, so please bring your own blankets, lawn chairs and, if you like, a picnic dinner.
The Richard Serra exhibit inside the Menil is the first retrospective of the sculptor’s drawings, some of which have directly inspired his sculpture work while some remain completely independent of his other art. The show is organized chronologically and includes new large-scale works that were produced specifically for this exhibit.
The films and videos that will be shown, which range from work by accomplished filmmakers...

Experimental filmmaker Warren Sonbert was born today, June 26, in 1947. Sadly, he passed away in 1995 from complications due to AIDS.
Sonbert began making films as a teenager in 1966. While his first films were loosely-structured narratives, he later became known for making movies out of his extensive worldly travels. He would plan a trip, arrange screenings in the cities he would be visiting and shoot footage for new films while abroad.
For a good review of Sonbert’s work, Gary Morris penned a great article for Bright Lights Film Journal in 2000.
Below is a home movie fragment shot by Jeff Scher of Sonbert writing in a cafe.
