Win Wear will host an inaugural film showcase May 8th at O+T -- Dinner and the Avant - Garde - an evening of experimental cinema curated by local experimental filmmaker Rett Rogers and generously supported by Denver's epicurean community.
The screening will explore the diverse aesthetic methodologies of essential avant-garde cinema through the work of its most celebrated artists, including Stan Brakhage, Bruce Conner, Phil Solomon, Gunvor Nelson - and more. The films will explore land-and-dream-scapes, dance and sex, and utilize found footage and chemical manipulation, objective representation and holy abstraction. The program is designed towards sensorial and experiential discovery, academic familiarity is not a qualification for appreciation.
