Film Screening: Bryan Konefsky

Since 1995, Bryan Konefsky has supported moving image artists from around the world through his work with Basement Films and his Experiments in Cinema film festival. This screening marks a rare public appearance and unique opportunity to see Konefsky’s wry sense of storytelling combined with his sharp critique of the art world and the wild and wooly world of academia-land. Konefsky’s work explores issues such as identity, community and place, political corruption and urban decay, notions of masculinity – from the personal to widening circles of the political.

Konefsky’s creative work has been showcased at museums and film festivals in countries such as Argentina, Cuba, Germany, Norway, Russia, South Korea, Spain and the UK. This screening is being presented in conjunction with a retrospective of Konefsky’s creative work at 1415 Gallery located in the same complex as Alpaca. An 84 page catalogue that tracks Konefsky’s creative work since the mid 1960s will also be available at the screening.
