FJORD is pleased to present Residues, a one-night-only summer screening of fifteen short artist films and video works by Better Lovers and Hsin-Yu Chen, Brandon Aquino Straus, Corinne Teed, The Institute of Queer Ecology, Kakyoung Lee, Kara Blake, Kara Güt, Laura Bernstein, and Samantha Nye, selected by FJORD co-directors Amy Shindo and Todd Stong.

Dealing in hypnosis, linguistics, learning, ecology, invisibility, performance, and queer commune, these works explore traces that form through the meeting of bodies, minds, and universe. The screening makes free-associative leaps that ultimately tie together in a sense of a residue, of a world tenuously, yet enduringly, altered by its inhabitants.

Please join us at our air-conditioned 1720 N. 5th Street space on Friday, July 28 at 8pm for this 70-minute presentation, which includes a number of Philadelphia premieres.
