Screentime at the Fine Arts Library: Two Films from Ana Vaz
Twice a week throughout the month of April, the Fine Arts Library will host a series of informal screenings of experimental film and video art from the UVA Library collection. Drop in and out as your schedule allows to see selections from a century of art of the moving image.
On Tuesday, April 22 in its ground-floor video niche, the Fine Arts Library will screen the two films from Brazilian-born contemporary artist and filmmaker Ana Vaz. In A Idade da Pedra [The Age of Stone] (2013) Vaz imagines a cryptic monumental structure within the sertão, the arid central plateau of Brazil, and with it, reimagines the birth of the city of Brasilia. In Occidente [West] (2014) Vaz observes the reverberations of the colonial connection between Brazil and Portugal.
Later this month, see Shirin (2008), an exploration of gendered spectatorship from acclaimed Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami.
