Filmmaker Sílvia das Fadas visits for a screening and discussion of her dazzling film channeling radical histories that upend conventional ideas about cinema and viewership.
Using three 16mm projectors, das Fadas will bring her wandering filmmaking practice to the Wexner Center for a memorable evening of expanded cinema. Inspired by the life and work of the early 20th century anarchist António Gonçalves Correia, Light, Blaze, Fulgor, in das Fadas’s own words, “is a kind of experiment: a practice of mutants in search of a metamorphic shift. It is driven by desire, both experiential and performative.” Traveling all the way from Portugal, she will join Ohio State student group Cinéseries to present her enigmatic and innovative work that reimagines what cinema can be.
Join us after the screening in the café for an intimate conversation with the filmmaker and Cinéseries members. Light refreshments will be served.

More about Cinéseries
In the words of the members: Cinéseries is a student-led group that organizes monthly screenings in collaboration with the Wexner Center for the Arts. We aim to offer a space for students and the community to engage with film and expanded cinema from makers of a variety of backgrounds. We aspire to create an environment conducive to critical engagement by inviting filmmakers to showcase work that takes risks, challenges norms, and opens a conversation by devoting to a wide range of artist-centered and independent media.
