Screening of IMA alum David Pavlosky’s Don’t Bring Scott
Don’t Bring Scott, a film by IMA alum David Pavlosky, has been selected to screen at this year’s edition of Cinema Diverse: The Palm Springs Gay and Lesbian Film Festival on Friday, September 18th at 11:00AM.
The film is a personal documentary portrait that investigates the roots of homophobia in the American family and its reinforcement via religion and society. When David’s working-class parents decide to celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary without inviting his life partner, this All-American, rural family is dragged into the 21st century.
IMA alumnae Samara Smith and A.E Souzis’ project
IMA alumnae Samara Smith and A.E Souzis, both artists from the collective /rive, produced a crowd-sourced visual diary named Tell-A-Commute. Using a series of interactive text messaging, the project invites New Yorkers to document and share photos of what they see during their daily commute on the NYC subway.
The artists’ collective, /rive, focuses on site-specific projects that meet at the intersection of psychogeography, locative media, and documentary narrative.
