The Brakhage Center for Media Arts is hosting a special visit with Cinematographer Ashley Connor. Ashley Connor is one of New York's most innovative directors of photography who has come to be known for her dynamic imagery. Her experimental vision and breadth of style is manifested in films from Madeline's Madeline to the Miseducation of Cameron Post and music video work for Jenny Lewis, Angel Olson, and Beach House.

Presented in collaboration with Give Us the Camera, (GUT-C), a new collective that exists for filmmakers who are underrepresented and are seeking an inclusive community, networking, skill-sharing, critiques, and screenings.

This series of short films, curated by Jesse Lerner, addresses and is framed by varieties of transnational displacements, travels, forced or self-imposed migrations, the experiences of exile, and the global circulations of images, cultures, and commodities. This is a modified version of a longer program that was to have been presented at the Sixteenth Annual Brakhage Symposium, which was – unfortunately- canceled due to Covid-19. Jesse Lerner is a documentary filmmaker and video maker based in Los Angeles. His short films and documentaries have won prizes at film festivals in the United States, Latin America and Japan, and have been shown at New York’s Museum of Modern Art, the Sydney Biennale and the Sundance Film Festival.
