Juhasz, one of the AIDS movement's principal video activists, boroughs into her archive of haunted images to find video remains that create a contemplative, loving memorial to one gay man lost to AIDS, and a formal and existential inquiry into what might possibly remain in the face of loss. Video Remains (mini-DVD, 55 min., 2005) marks what changes and lasts after death, across time, and because of videotape.
Alexandra Juhasz has made more than 15 documentaries on feminist and lesbian issues from AIDS, to women's films, to teen pregnancy, including the features Video Remains (2005), Dear Gabe (2002) and Women of Vision (1998), as well as producing the acclaimed narrative feature, The Watermelon Woman (1996). Her work has screened at the Sundance and Toronto International Film Festivals, and women's, and gay and lesbian film festivals around the world. She is a Professor of Media Studies at Pitzer College and the author of critical writing about alternative media.
Free and open to the public.

Hey yall.
A former professor and good friend, Alex Juhasz, is coming to town to show her latest film, VIDEO REMAINS. Alex is perhaps best known for the cult classic Watermelon Woman and she is an important independent filmmaker. This latest video is a powerful account of a personal friend who she lost to AIDS. Anyone in the LGBT community will surely love this video. Anyone who has lost someone will also find it a heartfelt story.
Hope to see you there Friday. BD |
