A five-course meal of experimental video and performance art that is anything but well mannered.

The menu includes:

A cup of tea prepared by Sashenka Lopez

Spooning T: a video that approaches cultural assimilation through traditional practices that encourage self-modification within systems.

A bit of Milk and Honey prepared by Emily Ritz

Honeycomb: a fanciful video of the honeycomb coupled with the slow consumption and regurgitation of rich liquids.

The Main Steak prepared by Jen Beef

Jen Beef: is a video
turn it on
Press Play
“Re-enact American”
take it out.
flip it over(tape).
eat it
FUCK it.

The Ultimate Surrender of your taste buds prepared by Magic Meals

Magic Meals: An outrageous dynamic duo of punk sounds and wailing voices breaking the threshold of queer, glitter and drums!

Surprise Delight prepared by Elan Dia

Elan Dia : is a colorful explosion of poise and guttural talent

Dessert prepared by Mev Luna

Pronouns for Dinner: a performative video about a monster hell bent on consuming pronoun cakes representing the gender spectrum in an attempt to “undo” gender, but in the process becomes “undone” by the commentary from the curator and the mass amount of cake consumed.

So cum and devour the fanciful, unruly and the grotesque…or just cake and bratwurst!

LETTERS FROM THE OTHER SIDE is a a much-needed examination of the collateral damage of immigration. The film interweaves video letters carried across the U.S.-Mexico border by the film’s director with the personal stories of women left behind in post-NAFTA Mexico. LETTERS FROM THE OTHER SIDE provides the human context that has been missing from the immigration debate and offers a fresh perspective, painting a complex portrait of families torn apart by economics, communities dying at the hands of globalization, and governments unwilling to do anything about it. 2006, 73min.
