About This Screening
Michael Robinson has been working in film, video, and photography for the past six years. Developing a substantial body of work in a short period of time, he fuses traditions of avant-garde filmmaking with structural elements of contemporary video art. These works bring together disparate elements, forgotten pieces of pop cultural and mass media, creating a beautiful new world. Michael Robinson has screened his films and videos at festivals around the world including Rotterdam International Film Festival, The Images Festival, New York Film Festival's and Views From the Avant-Garde; please join us in welcoming him to Portland. By unraveling and subverting the mechanics of mass media I aim to open new possibilities for progressive thought and sincere expression within a society perpetuating its decline through a reliance upon commercial ministries. —Michael Robinson
