CineMental is paired up with the 25th Boston LGBT Film Festival this month and we're screening Channeling on the second Wednesday of the month instead of the third. Please join us...these films are really amazing, creative, beautiful and quirky. We want to expose these films to more people so we're screening them again.

CHANNELING is a film and video program curated by Latham Zearfoss and Ethan White.
CHANNELING is an entryway into the spirit realm and the queer body politic: a program of experimental moving image work that calls up the ghosts of the past and the specters of the future. The intent of the program is to re-imagine film and video as occult technologies that allow us to connect with the bodies, experiences, and emotions that are often invisible- ghostly, even-in everyday life. The works in the program take a personal approach in dealing with the political and historical problems that haunt the queer experience: the AIDS pandemic (Renwick, DiStefano), the body in transition (Montague),the idealized nuclear family (Pena, Robinson), and the narrow cultural standards of desirability (EMR, Moulton). CHANNELING presents emerging and established artists critically engaging with these concerns on their own campy, poetic, sexual,humorous, and even utopian terms, using a variety of aesthetic approaches such as digital video, homemade effects, saturated 8mm, home movies, animation, green screen, and more.
