Talking Pictures with Paul Booth

Host Paul Booth reviews this 2018 Official Selection to SXSW. 

Synopsis:  American performance artist Narcissister takes a smart, sassy, spectacle-rich approach to exploring the kinds of sexual fetishism that notoriously fix racial and gender stereotypes. She combines unabashed eroticism, humor, and poignancy to stretch viewers’ sensibilities and achieve surprising psychic effects. Narcissister Organ Player is originally a Bessie Awards–nominated performance that takes place in a metaphorical restaurant where Narcissister, unsated by a few spinach leaves, tries to eat the restaurant furniture and ends up “consuming herself” by entering and traveling through her own body, represented by an enormous onstage puppet. As the performance plays out on stage, in real life, her mother’s long-term illness brings on a decline that ends in death. The artist’s loss provokes an exploration of how her own complex, interracial family history has compelled her to create the masked, erotic performance character Narcissister. Enriched by Martha Colburn’s original animation, Narcissister Organ Player is a hybrid personal documentary/performance film that is a vibrant portrait of a family, a radical artistic practice, and an exploration of how ancestral data is stored in our bodies, impacting the lives we lead.

Host Paul Booth will discuss Marvel's Jessica Jones (t.v. series on Netflix) with Cinematographer Manuel Billeter. You can see both season on Netflix.

The much-anticipated season two of the hit series JESSICA JONES, shot by director of photography Manuel Billeter, begins streaming on NETFLIX, March 8.

Kristen Ritter stars as the titular private investigator turned vigilante crusader. Following from season one in 2015, where Jessica’s mind-controlling abuser came back, season two sees her explore her traumatic past and the story of her superhuman powers. A trailer is available here.

 

Host: Paul Booth "This a suspenseful, incredibly well-written, (with near genius peformances by all) and the incendiary cinematography captures the atmosphere of Jessica Jones' world. This is one of the few shows where the influences of great movies, like Seven, can be seen. This compliments Jessica Jones -- yet the show is also highly-original.
