    • Tonight! We highlight the work of filmmaker belit sağ, [ @bilidikit ] whose artistic and moving image practice largely focuses on the role of visual representations of violence in the experience and perception of political conflicts in Turkey, Germany, and the Netherlands. She sees images as durational points in time that can be rewound and forwarded. Through retelling, gesture, collage, and text, sağ resists institutionalized history, examining how ideology is embedded in images. Sunday, we host her for a survey of her short films, IMAGES THAT BREATHE: RADICAL MEMORY IN TIMES OF AMNESIA that includes many NYC premieres including some that she made with the video-activist collective VideA. Following the program, researcher and writer Almudena Escobar Lopez [ @meiga_del_norte ] will join her in conversation to discuss the relationship between image production and ideology.Tonight!
