I Have Had A Look At The Enzaubert Film Programme…

There are several films by women filmmakers being presented by the Entzaubert filmfest 2011. Unfortunately, I do not know much about these filmmakers, so I’ll just invite you to look at the programme (link above) and instead highlight one of the workshops:

Workshop: How to make a Non/Low Budget Movie

 

Short Films by Allyson Mitchell

However I have spotted one artist, whom I know – Canadian sculptor and lesbian Allyson Mitchell. Two videos by Allyson Mitchell, (whose Deep Lez art project and installation I have previously mentioned at this artblog), will be screened at Enzaubert : July 8, 2011 at 18:00 as a part of  ‘Behind Bars’ you can see

‘Pink-eyed Pet’

by Allyson Mitchell (2002, 3min; English) – ‘Love can cause infections even topical treatments won’t cure’. And on July  9, 2011 at 18:30 as a part of ‘Herstories and other Kings’

‘My Life in 5 minutes’

by Allyson Mitchell (2000, 6min; English) will be screened.  The autobiopic “My Life in 5 Minutes” tells a life story with a bittersweet song, animation and family snaps. Some photos hold painful or awkward members for the artist; through computer animation, she enlarges her own eyes to blink the pain away.
