Hoboken, NJ 07030: Womenswork Media Collective
http://www.wwmediacollective.org
3:00PM, Hoboken Historical Museum, 1301 Hudson Street
WOMENSWORK 2006
Womenswork 2006 is an exhibition of experimental film and video by
members of the Womenswork Media Collective, a group of media artists
based at New Jersey City University. Founded in 2002, the Womenswork
Media Collective facilitates the production, promotion, and exhibition
of independent film and video by women. The collective is dedicated to
empowering, promoting, nurturing, and mentoring women in the arts.
Womenswork 2006 premiered at the Fort Lee Museum and was screened at the
Jersey City Museum, Makeready Press Gallery, Montclair, NJ, and at the
Red Saw Gallery, Newark. The showcase is currently installed at the
Jersey City Museum in the Panasonic Video Zone through August 2006. A
question and answer session with the artists and a reception will follow
the screening. The suggested donation for this event at the Hoboken
Historical Museum is $5.00. Free parking is available around the corner
at the IN PARK parking garage at 12th Street and Shipyard Lane in
Hoboken. For further information contact Jane Steuerwald, showcase
coordinator, at email suppressed, or Robert Foster, Executive Director,
Hoboken Historical Museum, at (address suppressed) Program to
include: The Memory Box by Jane Steuerwald. Within three universal
themes – Loss, Mystery, and Love – the filmmaker intercuts archival,
family, and personal film footage with art songs sung by her mother at
the 1964 Worlds Fair. The Memory Box uses precious and perfectly
preserved mementos of family histories to establish connections between
past and present, music and image, love and loss. Burgeoning Senesce by
NJCU student Michelle Mumoli of Newark and NJCU student Polina Zaitseva
of Paterson. Burgeoning Senesce is an experimental narrative short that
interweaves stop-motion animation, home movie footage, video, and
photographs to explore notions of womanhood and issues of how time takes
its toll on womens bodies, hearts, emotions, and minds. In My Bedroom by
NJCU senior Melissa Polin of Eatontown. A self-portrait executed in
split-screen, the artist juxtaposes her personality in front of the
camera with footage of her in the solitude of her bedroom as she goes
about everyday rituals. The work is simultaneously playful, sensitive,
and direct. Father Figure by NJCU alumni Nicole McNeill of Jersey City
is an experimental documentary that explores issues of selective memory
and confronts family secrets and truths. The film also touches upon how
camera images can be deceitful. The Forgotten Ones by NJCU alumni
Stephanie Attar. Derived from a poem by the artist and visualized
through her exploration of forgotten and abandoned sites in New Jersey,
The Forgotten Ones is a lyrical piece about loss, alienation, and
solitude. Family Planning by NJCU alumni Delmira Valladares of Jersey
City. A twisted fairy tale with dark undertones, Family Planning is
about a bride who is called upon to be a noble protector. Confined to
her apartment, the bride engages in ritualistic exercises and dances to
condition herself for love.

FILMS FROM THE PUBLIC HOUSE: SHORT AND BITTERSWEET
Jackie Moe and Artists In Person. Curator Jackie Moe gathers short films
every month for a screening series at Edinburgh Castle Pub that harbors
a vast proof of home grown film talent in the City. Tonight she's
assembled a cast with new and classic shorts from that burgeoning scene.
Cathy Begien's playful maturity and unintentional detachment are
expressed in Blackout, The Dream Diaries and more. David Enos constructs
careful, primitive histories and home-made portraits in Light My Fire
(Jim Morrison) and In Service to the Waxen Moon (the Wolf-Man). Sarah
Enid presents The Great Unknown, portrait of a young man with an old
hand, and The Progeny, a fable about an unlikely family. Jose
Rodriguez's taste for depravity and longing for beauty fuel Boy Crazy,
exploring sexuality and indulgence. Plus many more films from this
hotbed of production. ADMISSION: $8 General, $5 Cinematheque Members,
Seniors, Disabled, Students (w. ID). Advance Tickets: 415-978-ARTS

OCULARIS AT TEN
Our show of shows! Founded in June, 1996 as a rooftop film series

highly eventful decade, we've gathered ten individuals—founders, board
members, directors, et al—who have helped make Ocularis what it is
today. Each will present a film or video that they've found
representative of their time with the organization, along with an
anecdote or two. And the results, at once hit parade and history lesson,
are to sure to make for one of our most memorable evenings yet. Work to
