Film/Video MOTION PICTURES: THE FILM AND VIDEO PORTRAITS OF JEM COHEN AND PETER SILLEN INSTRUMENT THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2000, 6:30 PM FREE LECTURE ROOM

DIRECTED BY JEM COHEN
Ten years in the making, this documentary collaboration with the band Fugazi culls footage and music going back to the band's inception. Cohen says of the project, "I thought of bringing 'dub' to documentary--of a project where unadulterated real-time performances, abstract rough-hewn Super-8 collages, and archival artifacts would collide and conjoin in a way that honestly represented musical experience." Exhibited in the 1999 Whitney Biennial. 1999, U.S., 115 minutes.
