EMMA’S DILEMMA by Henry Hills MONDAY JUNE 18, 7PM Admission $6 – Filmmaker in person Reservations recommended at [email protected] ** <[email protected]> We welcome filmmaker Henry Hills to Microscope to present for the first time the final complete version of his epic portrait of the downtown art scene “Emma’s Dilemma” featuring an adolescent Emma Bee Bernstein as she is introduced to artists, filmmakers, poets, performers including Tony Oursler, Carolee Schneemann, Jackson MacLow, Ken & Flo Jacobs and many others. Taping for the work began in 1997 when Bernstein was 12 and continued through her late teens. This screening is in conjunction with our current exhibit Exquisite Fucking Boredom<http://www.microscopegallery.com/?page_id=6595>featuring Polaroids and video by Emma Bee Bernstein on view through June 25. Emma’s Dilemma Henry Hills, digital video, color and black & white, sound, 1997-2012, 82 minutes Henry Hills’ Emma’s Dilemma reinvents the portrait for the age of digital reproduction. In a set of tour-de-force probes into the images and essences of such downtown luminaries as Richard Foreman, Ken Jacobs, Tony Oursler, Carolee Schneemann, and Fiona Templeton, Hills’ cinematic inventions literally turn the screen upside down and inside out. In this epic journey into the picaresque, we follow Emma Bee Bernstein, our intrepid protagonist, from her pre-teen innocence to her late teen-attitude, as she learns about the downtown art scene firsthand. In the process, Hills reimagines the art of video in a style that achieves the density, complexity, and visual richness of his greatest films. With: Emma Bee Bernstein, with Jackson Mac Low, Eduardo Allegria & dancers, Fiona Templeton, Richard Foreman, Ken & Flo Jacobs, Roberto Juarez, Kenny Goldsmith, Susan Howe, Tony Oursler, Cheryl Donegan, Felix Bernstein, Keith Sanborn, Julie Patton, Susan Bee, Carolee Schneemann, Lee Ann Brown, and Charles Bernstein. more [email protected] Microscope Gallery 4 Charles Place Brooklyn, NY 11221 tel: 347.925.1433 [email protected] nearest subway - J/M/Z - Myrtle/Broadway other options - L Morgan Ave or Jefferson Street B54 - Myrtle/Willoughby stop *
