Kienitz Wilkins\, Lori Felker\, and Joanna Rac zynska in person \n \n\n\n Mediated confrontations\, revelations\, apologi es\, and other emotional proclamations have become commonplace in contempo rary culture thanks to internet videos and social media. However\, artists have long used the cinematic form to create confessionals to be shared in the dark sanctuary of the public cinema. In this latest program of the Pe rsistent Visions screening series\, we present a selection of bold\, funny \, vulnerable\, and aggressively personal films that break the fourth wall . Each is a one-sided conversation\, manifesting cathartic release. From c ontemporary stream-of-consciousness musings in James N. Kienitz Wilkins’s This Action Lies and moving and radically honest works from Lori Felker an d Joanna Raczynska\, to ruminations on the cascading political and persona l affects of the Canadian extraction industry in Thirza Cuthand's Extracti ons and Curt McDowell’s 1971 queer masterpiece Confessions\, these films r uminate on what hasn’t or couldn’t be said in private\, instead shared lov ingly with humor and beauty in the safety of a movie theater. \n\n\n Progr am (total run time is 75 mins): \n\n\n This Action Lies.
