I can’t remember if she is on the list (she hasn’t posted, so I’m guessing
not), but Amy Beste has curated a show for the Conversations at the Edge
series in Chicago:

CHICK STRAND: SOFT FICTION
Celebrated West Coast filmmaker Chick Strand (1931-2009) left behind a
radical body of work exploring the space between documentary and poetry,
truth and fiction, and the politics and pleasures of representation. A
key figure in American independent and avant-garde film, Strand was a
co-founder of Canyon Cinema in the mid-1960s and began her own
filmmaking career at age 34, while an ethnography student at UCLA. This
tribute includes her films Soft Fiction (1979), an exploration of female
sexuality that raises provocative questions about storytelling, memory,
and the performance of one's self, and the exquisitely abstract
Kristallnacht (1979), an homage to Anne Frank and the resilience of the
human spirit. 1979, USA, 16mm, ca. 75 min.
