FAQ: Auditorium ProgramsThe ongoing film series American Originals Now offers an opportunity for discussion with young independent American filmmakers and a chance to share in their artistic practice through special screenings and presentations. The focus of this season's installment is artist Amie Siegel (born 1974), whose intelligent and idiosyncratic ruminations on history and modernism, on filmic narrative and cultural memory, have garnered international acclaim. Her work, in a range of moving image modes, is demanding yet accessible and filled with keenly inspired associations. Empathy and DDR/DDR established Siegel as an important film essayist able to unearth material from surprising sources through observation, direct address, and interview. A recipient of many international awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship, Siegel teaches in the department of visual and environmental studies at Harvard University.
Before-and-after traits of a once divided and then reunified Germany are seen through the filmmaker's steady and assured perspective as an outsider assuming various roles as ethnographer, actor, and collector. Vérité interviews mix with feigned dialogue to excavate East German traumas associated with both the socialist state and reunification. "A mosaic of interviews and incidents gradually connecting, allowing issues of history, state control, personal identity, and memory to emerge"—Jason Edward Kaufman. (2008, HD-Cam, 135 minutes)
Amie Siegel in person
This presentation of recent short films includes Black Moon (2010), Siegel's reworking of a 1974 feature film by Louis Malle into a short film, a grouping of still photographs, and a video installation. She shows documentation of other media arts installations such as Berlin Remake (2007), "a double projection of exterior scenes from East German State Film Studio movies alongside their 'remade' version in the present" (AS). The artist will speak about her processes and transformation of ideas across various exhibition formats and contexts. (Total running time approximately 90 minutes)
