Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson, Bottles Under the Influence (still), 2012. 16mm film.

In conjunction with Julia Feyrer and Tamara Henderson: The Last Waves, join us for a film series reconsidering canonical surrealist films and experimental feminist interventions, in the context of the artists’ own hallucinogenic and uncanny exhibition-based films. Dream states and unconscious meanderings weave their way throughout the exhibition and onto the screen. The fluid, associative logic of dreams function as a liminal space that mediates between waking life and sleep, between facts on the ground and subjective interior experience. The bridge between these states of being captivated surrealist practitioners in the first half of the twentieth century and continues to vex Feyrer and Henderson nearly a century later. Three nights of rarely seen double bills, each including a feature-length film as well as a program of shorts. Introductions will be provided by 221a Head of Strategy Jesse McKee on November 3 and Vancouver artist Evann Siebens on November 10.
