8th Annual Experimental Lecture: Bradley Eros: Disappearing Soon at a Theater Near You (ephemeral cinema & other acts of life)
Since 2008, the Experimental Lecture Series has presented veteran filmmakers who immerse themselves in the world of alternative, experimental film. Our intention is to lay bare an artist’s challenges rather than their successes, to examine the gnawing, ecstatic reality of the work of making art.
