The Sower Arepo as Works a Wheel plays Sunday, May 29 at Artsfest Film Festival in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

I’ll be screening my work at the Echo Park Film Center in Los Angeles on June 23.

Films from Four Mountain Ranges by Marcy Saude

A program of recent experimental documentary shorts investigating marginal histories embedded in the landscape. Fragmented tales of outlaws, back-to-the-landers, farmers, and most of all- mountains. Former gold rush boom towns; serial killers in Santa Cruz, California; anabaptist folk medicine as performance art; anarchists and Comanche re-enactors; a rural festival of antique farming technology; quiet looks at counterculture architecture; lots of mountain-gazing in the Rockies, the Sangre de Cristos, Southern Appalachia and the California Redwoods; and attempts to push against the edges of non-fiction form. Approximate program running time: 70 minutes.

The Sower Arepo as Works a Wheel will be screening in San Francisco Cinematheque’s Crossroads Festival on May 15 at 4:30 pm as part of the “Realms of Transience” program. There’s a really great mix of old and new works throughout the three day fest.

The European Media Art Festival in Osnabrueck, Germany has listed their full program and I’m  excited that Sower Arepo is screening with Erin Espelie’s complex and rich new film Valleys of Fear (After Poe, Pierce and Doyle) as well as a new work by Owen O’Toole; I wish I could attend!

Additionally, I’ll be screening and talking about my MFA thesis project, Sangre de Cristo, on Thursday, April 28 at 7:30 pm in ATLAS 102 on the CU Boulder campus for those who missed the MFA show (or prefer comfy theater seats to gallery benches).

This Kind of Town will be screening at Anthology Film Archives in New York October 12 at 6pm as part of Eye Am: Another Experiement by Women, and at Other Cinema in San Francisco on November 20 as part of an evening called Psycho-Geography with works by Matt McCormick, Naomi Uman, and other ultra-rad filmmakers.
