Program length: 90 minutes. THE FOURTH DIMENSION, 8 PM INTRODUCED BY DIRECTOR TRINH T. MINH-HA Trinh T. Minh-ha's films don't explain or instruct--rather, they hypnotically unsettle viewers through radical exploration of form and time. As professor of rhetoric, women's studies, and film studies at the University of California-Berkeley and author of The Moon Waxes Red and Cinema Interval, she brings an academic, interdisciplinary perspective to her film work. Minh-ha's foray into digital video, The Fourth Dimension is informed by her experiences with the uneasy symbiosis of modern technology and ancient tradition in Japan. She explores video aesthetics while capturing cultures in conflict through the motions of bullet trains and the segmented frames that recall the sliding panels in Japanese architecture. 2001, U.S./Japan, color and BW, video, 87 minutes.
