Screening
An online screening with a selection of videos by Elle Burchill spanning from 2004 to 2018 on Vimeo On Demand. Not to be missed!
We are pleased to present a program of video works by Elle Burchill, which consists of more than 25 single-channel, multi-screen and installation works. Burchill's videos might best be described by three categories: poetic personal cinema, experimental documents, and performance video, however, the boundaries often overlap. She usually work with a hand-held camera using it as a telescope, a magnifying glass, a mirror.
This very special online program goes live on Tuesday, September 22 at 7:00pm ET and remains available for one week.
Please join us for a live chat and Q&A with Elle Burchill and Jean (Hyemin) Kim on September 30 at 7:00 PM ET

Jean (Hyemin) Kim (they/them) holds a PhD in Comparative Literature from SUNY Buffalo with a specialization in poetics. Their research centers around non/human mythopoetics and queer aesthetics in twentieth- and twenty-first-century artists’ literature, books, and cinema. In that direction, they recently published a commissioned essay on Stan VanDerBeek’s computer-aided 16mm film series Poemfield (1967–1971). Also, among others, their essay on posthumanity in João Pedro Rodrigues’s film, The Ornithologist (2016), will be published by Edinburgh University Press in early 2021. In addition, they are writing a book manuscript on the intersection of poetry and cinema. Jean (Hyemin) Kim currently teaches in the English Department at Baruch, CUNY.
