Join Chicago Filmmakers for the first screening in our brand new PICTURE RESTART SERIES: 16mm FILMS FROM THE PICTURE START COLLECTION titled, HER EXPANSIVE SELF: Five Films by Women Exploring Identity and Multiplicity!

To kick off our Picture Restart series, we’re showcasing the work of six filmmakers who explore questions of identity and multiplicity, performance and gaze, self and other selves across five short films. These brief portraits of wild women are bursting at the seams with multiple, contradictory selves, a revolt against the flattened, constructed definitions of gender the television screams out at them. Embracing glitched possibilities long before the digital, these films defy categorization as they oscillate between multiple pathways towards liberation.
