SHARON COUZIN SHORTS PROGRAM
As the long-serving chair of SAIC’s film department and a founding figure in the Experimental Film Coalition and its offshoot Onion City Film Festival, Couzin’s impact on the avant-garde film community across the Midwest as an organizer and mentor was immeasurable. Despite being an internationally acclaimed experimental film scene fixture throughout her filmmaking career, her work has been difficult to see in recent years, even here in the city where most of it was made. The program will feature a new restoration of Couzin's award-winning short ROSEBLOOD (1974) alongside her acclaimed shorts A TROJAN HOUSE (1981), SALVE (1981), and SHELLS & RUSHES (1987), all on 16mm from Canyon Cinema.
Presented as part of the 32nd Onion City Experimental Film + Video Festival in partnership with:
