This series of films will be presented by Peggy Ahwesh, an experimental filmmaker and video artist.

Verite Opera, Paranormal Intelligence, and Nostalgia for Paradise
Directed by Peggy Ahwesh (1983)
50 min.

Ahwesh, an American experimental film maker and video artist, created three films made back-to-back that documented the lives of her friends during the summer of 1983.

The Suicide Squeeze
Directed by Brady Lewis (1986)
27 min.

Part of Carnegie Museum of Artā€™s collection, this short film is a fascinating case of narrative deconstructionā€”a 1940s style ā€œwhodunitā€ pressed through the wringer of an optical printer.
