Film is Stupid: An Evening of Intellect, Film, and Performance

After wondering whether she could just have a Q&A without actually making a film, longtime local filmmaker Mocha Jean Herrup (The Lancebian, A Few Good Dykes) decided it was time to start focusing less on making films (aka fixing technical problems and begging friends to work for free) and more on live performance (aka stand up comedy, storytelling, and sometimes fixing technical problems and begging friends to work for free).

In this presentation / performance / screening / and yes, Q&A, Mocha will show films from her collection of short works, perform her one woman show, “Letters of Compliment & Complaint,” and discuss how forms and theories such as systemic critiques, editing based decisions, and optimizing interaction overlap and diverge.
