Testamento Cinemático: The Films of Narcisa Hirsch
HAMMER | 7:30 p.m., Hammer Museum
A pivotal figure in Latin American experimental cinema, Narcisa Hirsch—a German émigré raised in Argentina—first focused on painting, then performances and happenings, before making a crucial move to film. These six short films are meditations on female independence, eroticism, violence, and mortality, forming an important intervention into the history of structural and experimental film. Programmed by Federico Windhausen. (dir. Narcisa Hirsch, 57 min.)
