\n It\u2019s summer and people are on the move. This week Oregon-based filmmaker Julie Perini joins us to present a program of video works completed between 2007 and 2013. Perini\u2019s work often explores the areas between fact and fiction, staged and improvised, political and personal. Blending techniques from performance and filmmaking, Perini searches for moments of heightened awareness and new understandings of herself as a subject experiencing multiple identities at any given time.<\/span><\/p>\n

PROGRAM:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They have a name for girls like me.
\n<\/strong>Video, 2007\u2014ongoing, 7:37 min<\/em><\/span>
\n They have a name for girls like me.\u00a0<\/em>is an experimental video using appropriated material from films with characters named Julie.\u00a0 Fictitious filmic Julies abound: wanton women, slutty teens, rebellious housewives, and more.\u00a0Periodically, I cut and add another Julie film, removing all of the footage except for the moments when a character utters the word, \u201cJulie.\u201d\u00a0 This creates an exhausting repetition of the one word, Julie, while also offering viewers a frenzied cross-section of global fiction narrative film.<\/span><\/p>\n

Minute Movies
\n<\/strong>Video, 2011 \u2013 ongoing<\/em><\/span>
\n Since April 1, 2011, I have been shooting at least one single-take, one-minute video each day. \u00a0I use a small video camera that fits in the palm of my hand. \u00a0I look forward to these moments, which are usually a meditative way to feel 60 seconds pass.\u00a0 Selections include:\u00a0Minute Movie (09.12.12) Portland, Oregon;<\/em> Minute Movie (10.30.12), Joshua Tree, California; Minute Movie (07.01.12), Guanajuato, Mexico; Minute Movie (12.08.11), Columbia River Gorge, Oregon; Minute Movie (04.14.11), Albuquerque, NM.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Julie Time
\n<\/strong>Video, 2012, 1:00 min<\/em><\/span>
\n Julie Time <\/em>is a fast-paced overview of 120 different Minute Movies<\/em>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

306 Steps in Guanajuato
\n<\/strong>Video, 2012, 1:41 min<\/em><\/span>
\n 306 Steps in Guanajuato<\/em>shows all of the steps between downtown Guanajuato, Mexico and\u00a0El Pipila, an enormous monument to a hero from the Mexican War for Independence, located at the top of one of the mountains onto which the city is built.<\/span><\/p>\n

White Lady Diaries
\n<\/strong>Video, 2013, 5:00 min<\/em><\/span>
\n White Lady Diaries\u00a0<\/em>brings together my research into racial identity with my daily practice of making\u00a0Minute Movie<\/em> about my own life.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Four Magic Phrases
\n<\/strong>Video, 2010, 2:29 min<\/em><\/span>
\n In collaboration with members of Rose City Copwatch, I created this training video called\u00a0The Four Magic Phrases<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Rose City Copwatch in Portland, Oregon is an organization that observes and documents police activity in order to prevent police misconduct and police brutality.\u00a0 Rose City Copwatch has developed a set of four \u201cmagic phrases\u201d for people to learn so that they are better equipped to interact with police officers and other representatives of the state.\u00a0\u00a0The Four Magic Phrases\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>shows fourteen people all shouting or stating the four magic phrases to the camera.<\/span>
\n The four magic phrases are: (1) Am I free to go? (2) I do not consent to a search. (3) I don\u2019t want to answer any questions. I want to talk to a lawyer. (4) And when you are copwatching<\/em>: I am here to observe.\u00a0 I do not intend to interfere.<\/span><\/p>\n

Safe & Sound?
\n<\/strong>Video\/16mm film transfer to video, 2013, 10:00 min (excerpt)
\n<\/em>collaboration with Jodi Darby & Erin Yanke<\/span>
\n Safe & Sound? <\/em>is a collection of short video documentaries about police violence and resistance to police violence in Portland, Oregon.\u00a0 Safe & Sound? <\/em>has exhibited as a single-channel video installation and it exists as an online archive and resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

Collaboration with a Stream
\n<\/strong>16mm film transfer to video, 2011, 1:28 min<\/em><\/span>
\n This film is the result of a collaboration between myself and a stream in Woodstock, NY. \u00a0I scratched a line into black film leader and left it in a stream for a week.\u00a0 The dirt, rocks, and water in the stream created the flecks of white that you see, and the soundtrack.<\/span><\/p>\n
