Performances at Anthology Film Archives NY by Jandek, Loren Mazzacane Connors & Alan Licht, and MV & EE.

An audio/ video, lecture/ performance exploring the queer and companionly inter-activity of human-animal relations.

Jandek’s first ever live performance. Unannounced, the performance was a total surprise for everybody at the festival.
