"Court Tree Gallery proudly presents *The XY Chromosome Project.*

The recent collages of filmmakers Mark Street

and Lynne Sachs
.
Street and Sachs have been making films individually and collaboratively
for over 30 years, which is also the length of their relationship as a
couple.

*The XY Chromosome Project* follows the career paths of Lynne Sachs and
Mark Street. To follow this path is like tracing the blueprint on devotion.
Working both together and individually for the past 30 years, each has
carved out their own niche without the obvious influences of being married.
They part ways to be left alone to their own creations. It is the respect
for the other's work that bonds them. Left alone, their work could not be
more different. Lynne's work is cerebral and emotional. As seen in her full
length films *Your Day is My Night*

and *Tip of My Tongue*
.
She collages the art of storytelling by layering stunning visuals while
swimming between reality and performance. Her films are remarkable. Mark is
the experimental film hero, a pioneer in film manipulation, an encyclopedia
in the world of experimental films. His film work is solely connected to
what is possible in the organics of film manipulation. They celebrate
experimentation in its truest form. Yet both come down on the same line
when it matters most. The line of captivation which as any artist knows is
the hardest to achieve. In 2010, they created *The XY Chromosome Project*
an umbrella for their collaborative ventures. Together they have produced
an array of collaborative installations, performances, and two-dimensional
art works. In addition to exhibiting their collages on the walls of the
Court Tree Gallery, they will present movies, poetry and essays by
themselves and other artists and writers throughout the month of May."

Lipuma, co-director, Court Tree Gallery*)

In 2017, Lynne embraced her life-long love of collage during an artist
residency at Beta Local, an art center in San Juan, Puerto Rico dedicated
to supporting and promoting aesthetic thought and practice. While there,
Lynne worked with San Juan artists who shared images torn from magazines or
newspapers, found in a drawer, a family album or in the trash -- personal,
commercial and ephemeral objects. Lynne then proceeded to “collaborate”
with these artists by integrating both the treasures and the trash from
their lives into her collages.

Morning Addition is a series of collages Mark has been working on since
2015.  He uses images from newspapers, old books, Farmers’ Almanacs, paper
shooting targets and original photographs to create strange and uncanny
combinations.  What arrives on the doorstep or is found on the street mixes
together to distill quotidian ephemera down to an unanticipated broth.

*Weekly Events:*

*Thursday, May 10 – The XY Chromosome Project Opening Party   7 – 9 PM*

*Thursday, May 17 – Short Films by Mark Street and Lynne Sachs  7 – 9 PM*

Since 1992, Lynne and Mark have been showing films together in an attempt
to uncover connections and dissonances, pitting the X against the Y, the
magenta against the green, the hard edged against the ephemeral. At Court
Tree Gallery, they will present 11 short films (including one they made
together) created over the last 25 years. Loose themes and affinities will
unspool, including chimerical traces of their children, women's voices
amplified on the screen, quotidian diary effusions, found footage movies
reimagined, weather as an apocalyptic

[Frameworks] Phantom Islands & Inside @ ECRÃ Festival

[Rouzbeh Rashidi]

Two recent feature films from Experimental Film Society (EFS) will screen
as part of the Festival ECRÃ in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil this July. Phantom
Islands (Rouzbeh Rashidi) and Inside (Vicky Langan/MaximilianLeCain) are in
many ways complimentary films that mirror each other in several aspects.
Both are wordless, delving back into the origins of cinema to conjure
portraits of characters and couples immersed in psychic breakdown within
vividly rendered Irish landscapes. Both present extremely fragmented
narratives that blur inner and outer worlds, and are driven by intensely
atmospheric visuals and soundtracks. And both rely on boldly physical
performances that owe as much to performance art as to screen acting. ECRÃ
Festival is an experimental film festival that arose from the desire to
question the film industry and its “primordial elements” and to give space
for filmmakers to experiment freely in audiovisual production. It takes
place between July 17th and 22nd at the Cinemateca do MAM Rio, Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil.
