In/Visible Measures

Presented in collaboration with Cinéseries
Discussion follows screening

Three stills from the films in this program on a block of text that reads “CINESERIES” in white font made of circles against a pink background.

Curated by Cinéseries group member Tracy Szatan, this program features short films that explore cultural and metaphysical ways of knowing through new imaging technologies.

Ranging from considerations of perception to histories of measurement, these works question the boundaries between the visible and invisible to better understand the relationships between humans, nature, and technology. Stick around after the screening for an informal, open-to-all discussion in the café led by the Ohio State student group, and be sure to check Cinéseries’ Instagram for information about a Zoom conversation with the filmmakers the following day, October 12!

More about Cinéseries

In the words of Cinéseries’ 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.
