Experimental filmmaker Christopher Harris joins us to present still/here—one of the first major American essay films of our century.
still/here is an experimental landscape documentary that surveys the vast environment of ruins and vacant lots in North St. Louis, an area populated almost exclusively by working class and working poor African Americans. A Black woman’s image on a billboard is one of the only human figures. Throughout, the decaying neighborhoods and buildings convey a sense of the structural and historic forces that shape the lives that echo throughout these haunted spaces.
Harris’s short film Sunshine State (Extended Forecast) begins the program with a consideration of “the last perfect sunny day” through a suburban Florida lens. (program approx. 100 mins., DCP)
A conversation with Christopher Harris will follow the screening. Harris was commissioned to create a short for the Wexner Center Artist Residency Award project Cinetracts ’20.
