Film Screening: “Breaking the Frame”

Featuring an introduction by Carolee Schneemann
Thursday, January 14, 7:00pm – Free Screening
Block Museum

Filmmaker Marielle Nitoslawska’s feature-length documentary “Breaking the Frame” is a sensitive and insightful profile of radical New York artist Carolee Schneemann. A pioneer of performance, body art, and avant-garde cinema, Schneemann has been challenging assumptions of feminism, gender, sexuality, and identity in the art world for five decades. The collaged and diaristic quality of Schneemann’s own, very personal, approach to cinema is mirrored in Nitoslawska’s intimate portrait of the artist. Carolee Schneemann will be present to introduce the screening.
