Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.
A performed film lecture exploring how the ‘Rumberas’ of Caribbean cinema of the 40’s and 50’s subverted demeaning images of themselves through dance, sound and a sociality that insisted on blackness as being a cultural performance, not simply due to skin colour.

An improvisation that may or may not involve (typical) improvisation.
A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
