31, Liebling Center

 Hi all,
I hope you can join us for this!
Baba

Rhys Ernst, Hampshire S01, a 2014 Whitney Biennial artist and award winning
filmmaker will screen his films SHE GONE ROGUE, a collaborative film made
with Zackary Drucker, THE THING and THE DRIVE NORTH, 7pm, March 31, 120
Liebling Center, HACU 287 Performance and Directing for Film, Video and
Installation.


SHE GONE ROGUE "Darling" (transgender artist Zackary Drucker) chases a lost
love down a rabbit hole and encounters legendary transgender performers
Holly Woodlawn, Vaginal Davis and Flawless Sabrina in this fantastical take
on the Hero's Journey.

Rhys Ernst positions his filmmaking in a "New Trans Cinema" that
complicates gender representation in narrative cinema and places queer and
transgender characters within larger narratives. Ernst received his MFA in
Film/ Video at CalArts in 2011 and a BA from Hampshire College in 2004. His
MFA thesis film "The Thing," premiered at Sundance 2012 and his new film
"She Gone Rogue," was commissioned for the 2012 "Made in LA" Los Angeles
Biennial at the Hammer Museum. Past screening venues include Oberhausen,
Chicago International FF, Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn
Academy of Music, and in Los Angeles at UCLA Hammer Museum, REDCAT, and
LACE. He was a producer/editor for MTV Networks, associate producer for
Masterclass (HBO), associate producer for Coming Out Stories (LOGO), and
adjunct professor of video at Queens College (CUNY). He was named 2010 HBO
Point Scholar, a 2012 Project: Involve Fellow, he received a 2003 Princess
Grace Award Honorarium and a Gold Plaque at the 2003 Chicago International
Film Festival. He recently completed directing a 35mm short adaptation of
the life of transgender pioneer Vicki Marlene and is developing a new
feature.
