Afflicted States: Films by Stephen Connolly
(Stephen Connolly, England, approx 70 min, 16mm, 2003-2008)
Stephen Connolly in person
London-based filmmaker Stephen Connolly will present a program of his 16mm documentary and non-fiction essay films, including The Afflicted States series, a trilogy of films begun in late 2001, “a historical moment when exploring the relationship between the individual and state seemed to take on a new urgency. These short films see the present through the past, seeking to locate significant but overlooked precursors to the contemporary." The Whale (9 min, 2003) is “a deliberation on the state of nature and the nature of the State…. combining several disparate components to consider the need for a renewed communal sensibility in contemporary society” (Jeremy Rigsby); The Great American Desert (16 min, 2007) examines ‘social liberty’ in the West in relation to war, spectacle, the environment and consumerism; and Más Se Perdió (14 min, 2008) draws connections between particular locations in Havana, Cuba, each of which have a relationship to notions of utopia.
Co-presented by the Union Theatre and the UWM Film Department.
