SPECIAL PROGRAMS Immersive Cinema, Spring 2008 Funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and commencing this season, Immersive Cinema is a series of concentrated, multi-part artist residencies. Through Spring 2009, each season's chapter will survey the work of an active film/video artist, allowing him or her to creatively present new, previously viewed, and in-progress work in personally significant contexts. Cinematheque commences this series with Jennifer Reeves: Light Work. A veritable anomaly among contemporary filmmakers, comparable perhaps only to fellow genre bender Peggy Ahwesh, Reeves, a self-confessed "film production addict," fluidly, fearlessly and ravenously crosses formal and technological boundaries, creating elegant and edgy explorations in areas of abstract film, experimental narrative, personal documentary and performance based projection. Identified by Eirik Steinhof as "a necessary visionary in the line of Maya Deren and Stan Brakhage," Reeves' work, lushly tactile in its visual and aural intricacy, is nonetheless vitally contemporary, bringing a handmade intimacy to themes of memory, mental health and recovery, feminism and sexuality, landscape, wildlife, and politics.
