 t 2I\nis College, room 222March 3, 2026, 8PM In this, our second scree
 ning dedicated to representations of the body in film, we gather four fil
 ms spanning four decades that bring together a variety of abstract treatme
 nts of the body (the body as echo, the body as landscape, the body as ca
 nvas) and a temporal/durational/historical vision of the body (the body as
  resurrection).In Lot in Sodom, James Sibley Watson and Melville Webber e
 xplore the biblical tale of the fall of the wicked cities of Sodom and Gom
 orrah, one of the great stories of the body transformed as in the figure 
 of Lot’s wife ossified into a pillar of salt. The orgies of the city’s dam
 ned, full of mirth and joy, and the wrath of the angel, full of irony a
 nd reprisal, becomes an occasion for Watson & Webber to practice optical 
 abstraction. In Geography of the Body, the poet-filmmaker Willard Maas co
 llaborates with his wife, filmmaker Marie Menken (as cinematographer) and
  the poet George Barker (as author/narrator) on a film of simple deception
 , photographing the body in close-up as Barker speaks of travels in a dis
 tant land. Jim Davis, whose light-channeling mobiles were used to create 
 a large corpus of essential abstract filmmaking, also made films that use
  the human figure, albeit in forms no less transformative, often only gl
 impsed in fragments. Death & Transfiguration, a late film, shows the int
 eraction of his light refractions on the naked flesh of a human subject. F
 inally, Bruce Conner’s Marilyn Times Five employs a loop of Marilyn Monro
 e lookalike Arline Hunter, repeating the material to a point of clinical\
 , forensic insight.Program:Lot in Sodom (1933, 28 mins., 16mm, b&w, so

 to rethink what an experience of cinema can be. We seek to reposition hist
 orical landmarks and buried treasures within the on-going tradition of exp
 erimental and other non- commercial modes of filmmaking, drawing on work 
 from Toronto, throughout Canada, and internationally. Within these param
 eters, we aspire to diversity in programming, as well as to multimedia a
 nd interdisciplinary screening events that bring together varied communiti
 es.AD HOC = Stephen Broomer, Madi Piller, Jim Shedden, Bart Testa.AD HO
