Screening: aCinema presents Forging the Future *IN PERSON*

Four stills from the scheduled program

If you are a fan of short-form experimental film, we encourage you not to miss aCinema's final screening for season eight, featuring works by series curators Janelle VanderKelen and Takahiro Suzuki.

While not the end of aCinema, this screening will constitute aCinema's final monthly program as Janelle and Taka will soon both be leaving Milwaukee for positions in Tennessee and Maine, respectively. All of us at Woodland Pattern will miss them, deeply, but as hinted, aCinema will go on, returning next summer in a festival format. And these are not the only plans under construction for aCinema—so stay tuned!

That said, we do hope you will join us this Friday in celebrating aCinema's fabulous curators and thanking them for an extraordinary eight-year run of consistently excellent moving image programs.

For more on aCinema and its future, please read Janelle and Taka's message posted to their website. We look forward to continuing our partnership with them and to hatching plans that will bring aCinema programming to you in new ways over the coming year.


Janelle VanderKelen’s films and intermedia installations imagine alternative acts of relation between imperfect bodies (human, vegetal, geological, or otherwise) and make visible the agency of plants through experimental time-based media processes. She received both her MFA in Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres and her MA in Intermedia Art from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. Her films have screened at Athens International Film + Video Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, True/False Film Festival, Revelation Perth International Film Festival, IC DOCS, San Diego Underground Film Festival, and Antimatter [Media Art] Film Festival.

Takahiro Suzuki (he/him/his) is an artist currently residing in Milwaukee, WI (USA). He completed his BA in Studio Art from the University of Virginia concentrating in the media of photography and cinematography, and received his MFA in Film, Video, Animation, and New Genres from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. His work and research practices as an artist are a constant endeavor of questioning. Each investigation offers a path toward further curiosity, rather than an inching grasp toward certainty, where the end product is not so much a thesis upon which to land, but rather, an open hypothesis for the audience to consider. His works have exhibited and screened nationally and internationally.
