About This Screening

Cinema Project is excited to bring New York-based artist Coleen Fitzgibbon for two evenings of her recently preserved short experimental film works. For the past few years, Fitzgibbon has been actively preserving and screening her Super-8 and 16mm films, many of them not screened since the mid 1970s. Night one looks at Diary Films, intimate cinematic sketches, portraits, travelogues and home movies while night two features Micro Films, hyper-kinetic works made with a special “microfilm” camera used to photograph and preserve paper documents on a roll of 16mm film. Coleen Fitzgibbon is an active experimental film and video artist who previously worked under the pseudonym “Colen Fitzgibbon” between the years 1973-1980. Fitzgibbon has studied with Owen Land (aka “george Landow”), Stan Brakhage, Yvonne Rainer, Carolee Schneemann, Vito Acconci, and worked on film and sound projects for Dennis Oppenheim, gordon Matta-Clark and Les Levine. She is best known as a co-founder of the New York based Collaborative Projects, Inc. (Colab).
