Vincent Grenier Retrospective (Vincent Grenier, various years, total run time approximately 87 mins)
September 25 & 27
Former 91社区 Cinema professor Vincent Grenier (1948-2023) left an indelible imprint on his students, colleagues, and artistic communities in NYC, Montreal, Ithaca, and 91社区. With a background in painting, Grenier began to make films in the early ‘70s in San Francisco, where he worked as the programmer for Canyon Cinema. He developed a unique personal cinema that combined a sense of rigor and play, dedicating himself to nuanced, painterly studies of color and light, explorations of the picture plane and screen, and remarkably sensitive portrait studies. Grenier was fascinated by visual ambiguities, which he explored persistently and poetically, in 16 mm film and digital video, from the early 1970s until his death in 2023. The films that he left behind make ordinary objects strange to vision, often hovering between abstraction and representation. A frequent contributor to the NYC and Montreal art scenes of the 70’s and 80’s, Grenier's experimental films and videos have earned numerous awards, and retrospectives of his works have screened on many continents. He received a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 2010 and the Stan Brakhage Vision Award in 2019.?

Thursday, October 1st:
Artist Lecture: 5.30-6.30pm, FA 343
Exhibition?Opening Reception: 6.30-7.30pm, Rosefsky Gallery, FA 259
Pan is an assistant professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington in Tacoma.
"Ice Cold" begins with a concept album and makes it physical: sound, poetry, sculpture, costume, graphic design, 3D animation, digital video, and performance collide inside the gallery. Pan uses pop sensibilities — hooks, drops, costume changes, and adolescent yet serious romance in catchy rhythms — to tell stories about identity: how it expresses, splits, challenges, and belongs.

Barbara Forever (Byrdie O’Connor, 2026, 101 mins)
October 2 & 4
BARBARA FOREVER is an expansive, immersive exploration of the life, work, and ongoing
cultural impact of filmmaker Barbara Hammer – a pioneering artist who lived boldly, created?urgently, and transformed cinema through her singular vision. Her films were an extension of?herself: sensual, experimental, and unapologetically lesbian, rooted in a profound desire for?connection and an insistence on telling her own story. Driven by her canon of over eighty films,?a vast collection of unreleased archival materials, and extensive audio interviews, Brydie O’Connor’s portrait allows for Hammer’s voice and images to shine through, becoming both a tribute and an extension of her legacy.
If we're experimenting with our lives and the way we're going to live, our film and our art should also be experimental. It breaks tradition, and makes you think in a broader way. It's the way I?experience the world.

This event is in partnership with GiGi's Playhouse Southern Tier, Decker College Speech Language Pathology.?
Esteemed film critic and 91社区 alum J. Hoberman joins us to celebrate the memory of experimental filmmaker and BU Cinema founder Ken Jacobs, who passed away last year, and his experience of the fledgling years of Cinema at 91社区. Following a screening of short films which Hoberman first saw as screened by Jacobs in Lecture Hall 6 (Arnulf Rainer, by Peter Kubelka, and Calling All Girls, by Jean Negulesco), Hoberman will talk about his time programming the Harpur Film Society (now Harpur Cinema), his experiences with Larry Gottheim, and the lasting and life-changing influence of Jacobs.?
J. Hoberman was a Junior in Harpur College when experimental filmmaker Ken Jacobs arrived to teach a week-long seminar at the invitation of Harpur Film Society. The following academic year (1969-1970), Jacobs was hired permanently, the Film Department was established, and Hoberman started working as the projectionist for Jacobs’s epic marathon lecture-screenings. The experience would be a life-changing one for Hoberman.?
Jacobs passed away last year at the age of 92, after decades teaching in the 91社区 Cinema Department, leaving behind an unforgettable body of work and countless students who were impacted by his mentorship. Hoberman joins us to recount his experiences in celebration of the memory of Jacobs and the fledgling years of Cinema at 91社区.?

Cirque Kalabanté -?World of Words
Friday, October 23, 2026
Osterhout Concert Theater
Doors: 7 p.m.
Show: 7:30 p.m.
Tickets:?
The Anderson Center for the Performing Arts brings in Cirque Kalabanté, performing with the Nukporfe African Drumming and Dance Ensemble.
Experience a vibrant world where ancestral African traditions meet breathtaking cori'temporary circus. Through powerful storytelling, live music, dance, and extraordinary acrobatics, Cirque Kalabante explores how gesture, rhythm, and movement can transcend language, erase boundaries, and unite cultures.
Imagine a stage where ancestral African wisdom captivates the audience. Separated by a symbolic line, one group shares its knowledge through powerful storytelling, hypnotic songs, and ritual initiation, while the other listens and learns—sometimes with fear, sometimes with resistance.
The exchange begins with spoken language as an obstacle, but the universal forces of gesture, rhythm, and sound quickly overcome it. The set and its ropes become a language of their own: double Dutch skipping, bungee straps, and rope-based contortion become pathways of communication, pulsing with dialogue. Three guiding figures—Trust, Respect, and Wisdom—lead the journey.?
Through acrobatic contact and moments of mutual support, the dividing line fades. Bodies merge, blending tradition with contemporary movement. The finale culminates in a powerful choreography of unity and collective awakening, transforming the journey itself into a revelation.?
The program also celebrates the 150th anniversary of Manuel de Falla with songs reflecting memory, grief, and a mother’s prayer for children spared from war. Completing the recital is a revival of rarely heard songs in French by Mexican composer Gustavo Campa, newly edited and presented as a U.S. premiere, all brought to life by 91社区 faculty artists Brenda Iglesias, contralto, and Curt Pajer, piano.
Nicole Santalucia is the author of the new poetry collection?Lesbian Dinosaurs / Dinosaur Lesbians?(Bordighera Press, 2026). Her other collections include?The Book of Dirt?(NYQ Books), Spoiled Meat (Headmistress Press), and?Because I Did Not Die?(Bordighera Press). Santalucia’s work has appeared or is forthcoming in the?Indiana Review, the?Colorado Review, the Los Angeles Review, the?North American Review, the?Rumpus, the?Normal School, Out Magazine, and elsewhere.

October 30 & November 1
Los Angeles on the cusp of the 2028 Summer Olympics: a series of devastating livestock viruses have wiped out meat and poultry production across the nation, leaving genetically-modified cockroaches the most viable alternative.

Works by Peggy Ahwesh
Tuesday 11/3 @ 7pm LH 006
"Over the course of her career, Peggy Ahwesh has produced one of the most heterogeneous bodies of work in the field of experimental film and video. A true bricoleur, her tools include narrative and documentary styles, improvised performance and scripted dialogue, synch-sound film, found footage, digital animation, and crude Pixelvision video. Using this range of approaches, she has extended the project initiated by 1960s and '70s American avant-garde film, and has augmented that tradition with an investigation of cultural identity and the role of the subject.
Ahwesh started out working in Super-8, attracted to the medium's evocation of home movies. For her, this was a subversively amateur form, and also a discourse that yielded traditionally women-gendered themes like home and family, relationships, and confessions, which she appropriated as scenarios. She and other filmmakers of the time, including Sally Potter, Su Friedrich, and Leslie Thornton, had little use for the primarily formal strategies of the structural materialist film tradition (which was in any case dominated by men), and viewed conventions of direction, character, and performance as tools. For these filmmakers, feminism presented a viable avant-garde praxis: unlike the radical formal dislocations of materialist film, the political narrative inherent in feminist art was exceedingly resistant to co-optation by dominant media or advertising.
Ahwesh's work, for all its reliance on theoretical concerns, isn't dry or forbidding. She values humor, playfulness, and, ultimately, the pleasure of the audience. The cluttered sets and fragmented stories in much of her work evince a baroque and almost mystical sensibility, with a lineage including the ornate films of Jack Smith and Kenneth Anger. Of course, this is a mysticism that locates its systems of meaning in mass culture, and in recent years Ahwesh has expanded her work to consider the techniques and critiques of nascent digital culture, including videogames and the Internet.
Ultimately, Ahwesh has developed a practice that insists on political and social topicality, handled with theoretical and formal rigor, while remembering the audience. It is her lighter touch that has helped make her work, densely critical as it is, so accessible to so many people. She draws them into the world and traditions of avant-garde film and video, where, as she has remarked, "there's nothing to prove and no money to make," only the pleasures of the text.
Peggy Ahwesh was born in 1954. She received her B.F.A. from Antioch College. Her work has been widely shown, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; the Balie Theater, Amsterdam; the Filmmuseum, Frankfurt; the Rotterdam International Film Festival, Rotterdam; Museu d'Art Contemporani Barcelona (MACBA), Barcelona; the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Microscope Gallery, New York and Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles, among other venues. Her numerous awards include an Alpert Award in the Arts, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, and grants from the Jerome Foundation, Creative Capital, and the New York State Council on the Arts. She teaches at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York.
Ahwesh lives in Brooklyn, New York."

MOM (Mamá) (Xun Sero, 2022, 80 mins)
November 6 & 8
As a Mexican Tzotzil I grew up between the sacrality both of Guadalupe Virgin and
Mother Earth. As a son, I grew up among the derision of not having a father and
blaming my mother for it. ‘Mom’ is a dialogue between mother and son exploring
their contradictions, knowing and recognizing each other, and reflecting on
naturalized violence and its reproduction.
BIOGRAPHY OF THE DIRECTOR
Xun Sero is a Maya-Tsotsil filmmaker, born in Chiapas, Mexico. He began his work
in documentary filmmaking by chronicling events related to the struggle of
indigenous peoples in Chiapas. He tries to develop the true cultural heritage of the

cinematographer. "Mom", his directorial debut, was selected at Hot Docs, IDFA and
FIC Guadalajara, as well as more than 60 festivals, winning 20 awards. In 2022

Gandahar (René Laloux, 1987, 83 mins)
November 13 & 15
An entire civilization must confront its destiny in alternative-animation pioneer René Laloux’s final feature, a cult classic of mind-bending science fiction. In a distant world, a merciless army of automata attacks Gandahar, turning its peace-loving people to stone. Hoping to discover the source of these Men of Metal, a council of matriarchs enlists the brave yet inexperienced warrior Sylvain (Pierre-Marie Escourro), who, while journeying through his planet’s outer regions, teams up with the Deformed, a race cast out from Gandahar after failed science experiments rendered them mutants. Soon, Sylvain learns that a gargantuan brain called Metamorphis (Georges Wilson) is responsible for his utopian society’s strife and—together with the beautiful Airelle (Catherine Chevallier)—travels through time to defeat him, in the process risking their lives and Gandahar’s very existence. Featuring stunningly surreal creatures and wondrously bizarre environments designed by renowned comic-book artist Caza, Gandahar is a visceral, visionary head-trip in which animation opens a gateway to the furthest reaches of the imagination.
When the low-born Monty Navarro finds out that he's eighth in line for an earldom in the lofty D'Ysquith family, he figures his chances of outliving his predecessors are slight and sets off down a far more ghoulish path.

Talk: Refresh and Reboot - An Evening with Kristin Lucas
Tuesday 11/17 @ 7pm LH 006
"Kristin Lucas is a multidisciplinary artist working in video, installation, live, networked, and hybrid media art forms. In works that gain their currency within the context of public and private systems, Lucas responds to the uncanny overlaps of virtual and lived realities, and to the fast-changing mediascape that reconfigures perception and identity. Lucas critically engages with the tools she investigates, re-imagining and re-contextualizing their use in a way that looks to technology to provide new platforms for social and community engagement. In works that gain their currency within the context of public and private systems, Lucas responds to the uncanny overlaps of virtual and lived realities, and to the fast-changing mediascape that reconfigures perception and identity.
Lucas has been featured in Art in America, Artforum, Engadget, and Hyperallergic, and she is the recent recipient of an Engadget Alternate Realities Grant and a SciArt Institute The Bridge Collaborative Residency. Her work has been presented nationally and internationally at venues including Artists Space, FACT Liverpool, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Harvestworks, Haus der Kunst, HeK Basel, ICA Philadelphia, Nam June Paik Art Center, Pioneer Works, OK Center for Contemporary Art, MoMA, New Museum, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and ZKM; and at festivals including BAM Teknopolis, Cinekid, EarthxFilm, Impakt, ISEA, Okeechobee Music & Arts, Print Screen, TIFF, Transmediale, World Wide Video, and WSJ Future of Everything.
And/Or Gallery and Postmasters represent her work, and her videos are distributed by Electronic Arts Intermix. Her immersive augmented reality experience Dance with flARmingos was selected for the Radiance research platform. She earned degrees in art from Cooper Union and Stanford University and is faculty of Studio Art at University of Texas at Austin. She is currently based in Austin, TX."

Mountains and Water: Traditions in East Asian Art
Mountains and water are at the heart of East Asian arts and culture. They form an essential framework for engaging with the natural world and understanding people’s place within it. This exhibition explores the wide-ranging significance, symbolism, and sacrality of mountains and water in China, Korea, and Japan. It considers landscapes and scholar’s stones as both scholastic objects of aesthetic consideration and supernatural sites of cosmic power.
Generous support and donations for this exhibition were provided by John C. Copoulos ’73.
All?events are free and open to the public.
