OF WENDEL SAMSON + JACK SMITH's NORMAL LOVE
This immersive archival documentary takes viewers to the streets of Seattle in 1999 for massive protests that have heavily influenced the current political and protest climate. WTO/99 brings four days in late 1999 back to life and provides insights into the world we live in today. The film shows the results of tens of thousands of people occupying the streets of downtown Seattle to vocalize their concerns about the existence of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its impact on the environment, economy, human rights, and labor. Hoping to dissuade world leadership from continued support of the WTO, the protesters were met with extreme violence by a militarized police force. The protests strived to focus the public’s attention on the kind of future the WTO would bring forth—the future we live in today. Created from more than 400 hours of never-before-seen footage, WTO/99 is an immersive visual artifact that reanimates a week that still reverberates over two decades later.

SOVIET SILVER
Divya Farias & Alex Mejía bring Sleep When The Baby Sleeps, an audiovisual performance for film, video, saxophone, and voice. Working in high-contrast rhythms of image and sound, the piece explores sleep not as rest but as a paradoxical threshold—where exhaustion breeds agitation, memories loop, and the body resists its own release. Fragmented moving images, opticalpulses, breath, and saxophone lines spiral between tension and surrender, building toward moments of suspension and fragile calm. The performance asks: what does it look like, and what does it sound like, when we finally remember how to let go.
This special event brings together Laura Albert, the author of the best-selling JT LeRoy books Sarah, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, and Harold’s End and the subject of Jeff Feuerzeig’s acclaimed 2016 feature-length documentary AUTHOR: THE JT LEROY STORY, with Lucas Celler, award-winning documentary film editor, director, photographer, and motion designer of SHIRKERS and CLAYDREAM, who served as assistant editor and associate producer of AUTHOR. To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the release of AUTHOR, Laura and Lucas will screen the first half-hour of this film and discuss its genesis, making, and reception as well as its impact on their lives and careers. Laura will also read from her soon-to-be-published memoir, and she and Lucas will take questions from the audience.
