*This block contains nudity.
This collection of experimental films offers a profound exploration of identity, emotion, and personal discovery. From a man grappling with his inner turmoil to a provocative examination of gender and sexuality, and a heartfelt dance film reflecting on sisterhood and memory, to a mysterious narrative of a woman awaiting instructions, these films push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling. Each film invites viewers to delve deep into the human experience, challenging perceptions and offering unique perspectives on the complexities of the self. Join us on a journey of introspection and discovery in "Visions of the Self."
A Man or A Monster – 2:51 – Directed by Hudson Clearly
“A man struggles dealing with the inexpressible emotions in his life.”
Girl Bug – 5:37 – Directed by Lenora Rowe (CONTAINS NUDITY)
“Exploring the individual relationship with gender, sexuality, and femininity, Gilr Bug explores ideas of self-perception and how we interact with our sense of self. The aim is to explore the uncomfortable feeling of being othered as it relates to growing into your own from the perspective of growing up queer in the American South.”
Love Letter to my sister – 15:35 – Directed by Robin Neveu Brown
“This is the debut dance film from Rock Moves Contemporary Dance, Central Arkansas' first and only professional contemporary dance company. It was filmed in the historic and haunting St. Joseph Center in North Little Rock, AR. Love Letter invites the viewer to wander through the hallways of their childhood while holding the weight of the present, seeing their sisters in a new light.”
Ananoia – 18:53 - Directed by Bruce Hutchinson
“A woman staying in a hotel awaits daily instructions.”
