Cinema Arts Festival Houston 2009

Holly Fisher has been active since the mid-‘60s as independent filmmaker, teacher, and editor of feature documentaries, including 1989 Academy Award© nominee Who Killed Vincent Chin? Her experimental work, including her collage feature Bullets for Breakfast, has inspired her to produce large photographic prints, several of which will be on display in the Alabama Theater. In 1995, her work was celebrated in a Museum of Modern Art retrospective and her most recent feature, Everywhere at Once, will screen on November 12 at the Angelika.

Jennifer Reeves is a New York-based filmmaker whose subjective and personal films push the boundaries of film through optical-printing, film stock “mis-use”, and direct-on-film techniques (including hand-painting and sewing 16mm film). At CAFH, she will present her live dual-projector film, When It Was Blue, with live musical accompaniment as well as her experimental narrative, The Time We Killed at Rice Media Center on November 13-14.

Andrea Grover is an independent curator, artist, and writer. In 1998, she founded Aurora Picture Show, Houston’s celebrated microcinema, now an internationally recognized center for filmic art.
