Of Origins
Irit Reinheimer (ACG '06)

Of Origins is a series of short experimental documentary films about the lives and afterlives of a group of Jewish feminists in Germany in the early and mid-20th century. Each short film is a speculative love letter, spun out of strange incidents in the archives and the filmmaker’s fantasy of finding her radical prehistory. This first installment describes a love rooted in its own time and place, neither apocalyptic nor nostalgic. Hannah uses archival footage, home movies, and rotoscoping to orient the viewer in queer bond forged across time.

 

PORTAL Black Infinity Hitchhike series
Muthi Reed (ACG '13, '10, '05)

Old School documents an encounter while hitchhiking for car rides in Philadelphia. The video documents Mr. Calvin Townes and Reed's first meeting. Unscripted and minimally edited.
