Tonight American University is hosting a festival of short films by Bruce Conner, the artist/director who made A Movie, Vivian, Mongoloid, America Is Waiting, and Valse Triste. Experimental film, Ess Eff style. The Walker Art Center put together an impressive-sounding film festival of Conner's full-length works a few years ago—take a look at the WAC|BC site to read more about Conner's work.
The AU film festival is being held in conjunction with "After Bruce Conner: Anonymous, Anonymouse, and Emily Feather," a show of Conner's inkblot drawings and those made by the panel of anonymous artists who have taken up the Conner's work since the artist retired in 1999. The hoops they make graduate students jump through these days. . . .
