This weekend, the ‘Fugue State’ festival brings radical cinema to Cincinnati over the course of three days in three different venues.
Northside art center PAR-Projects and local businesses Swell Cafe and Wave Pool, both based in Camp Washington, will be hosting screenings and art exhibitions throughout the weekend as part of the event.
Fugue State, a project of Disassociative Productions, is a new traveling festival of experimental, radical, political and avant-garde cinema with previous screenings held at the NY Film-Maker’s Coop, Los Angeles Center for Digital Art, Elastic Arts Foundation (Chicago), and Comfort Station (Chicago), the festival keeps expanding to new cities, now choosing Cincinnati for multiple nights of screenings.
M Woods, multi-disciplinary artist and founder of the festival, created the platform as a direct attack at the gate-kept, corrupted and cronyistic film festival circuit. Thanks to local colleagues Laura Herman and Mike Sweeney, the festival was introduced to Cincinnati’s vital hubs for avant-garde art and cinema.
Featuring the work of local artists including Laura Herman, Ann Lohmueller, and Grace K Schuler, multiple artists are expected to appear in person—including visiting artists Michael A. Morris, Sonnie Wooden and M. Woods.
