    • Tonight!! We welcome feminist filmmaker Victoria Schultz who has trained her documentary lens on women and marginalized subjects in her politically charged films for over 40 years. She has traveled and documented around the world as an independent filmmaker and documentary staff producer for the United Nations. TO BE A WOMAN, will include a sneak peek of her latest personal docudrama, My Resistance, and her 2002 film To Be A Woman In Kosovo, where she encountered and interviewed women still experiencing age-old traditions of enslavement in Albanian villages following the fall of Serbian rule in 1999. We’ll also dedicate a portion of the evening to a game of “Memory Roulette” with photographer Samuel Budin [ @mysteriousphog ] For the program, Victoria has provided a number of slides from her archive, from which a selection has been made by Budin. She does not know what images will be shown. Budin describes a photo slide as “a moment from the past, compressed, and made it into something that can be carried around in a pocket—they can be expanded again and revisited, instantly, without any need for special paper or chemistry–just a light, a lens, and a wall. They hold a static image, but it activates memory, and the story that goes with it animates it.” We’re excited for what Budin will animate with Schultz and hope you are too. See you there!Tonight!!
