Squeaky Wheel presents two films each by directors Alex Rivera and Khaled Jarrar that take on displacement, resistance, and the human toll of borders and settler-colonies.
Squeaky Wheel presents a virtual artist talk with artists Alex Rivera and Khaled Jarrar to discuss their films that are screening as part of Infiltrators: Films on borders and resistance.
A visceral road movie that chronicles the daily travails of Palestinians of all backgrounds as they seek routes through, under, around, and over a bewildering matrix of barriers and border walls in the highly militarized West Bank.
Join artist resident Ajunie Virk for a workshop that teaches participants how to create experimental audio by drawing directly onto the optical soundtrack of 16mm film, a technique the artists uses herself to personalize sound and generate abstract audio layers within her own video works.
This skill share invites participants to experiment with autobiographical storytelling and the practice of autotheory—the blending of lived experience and critical thought—to create new forms of narrative that collapse the boundaries between personal and intellectual inquiry.
Ajunie Virk, Arielle Knight, and Jason Rhee will be presenting on their previous and current projects, along with a Q&A with the residents moderated by curator Ekrem Serdar.
This workshop by visiting filmmaker Jason Rhee equips filmmakers, media artists, and researchers with practical strategies to build, negotiate, and sustain trust with participants—especially those from marginalized or vulnerable communities.
