Craigslist Allstars (2017)

Directed by: Samira Elagoz 

65min

‘READ ME! Looking for strangers!’ reads Finnish performance artist Elagoz’s post on Craigslist as she

recruits subjects for her daring film. She films a series of unscripted encounters, from the intimate and

candid to the bizarre and unexpected with a procession of men, a magician, a sadist pianist, and an exhibitionist. Fearless, dangerously skirting the outer limits of control, Elagoz uses the camera to explore its influence on the intimacy between strangers. An hypnotic collage that moves between innocence and eroticism. Elagoz travels courtesy Finnish Film Foundation and will attend screenings in CT.

She Whose Blood is Clotting in My Underwear (2016)

Directed by: Vika Kirchenbauer

4min

Made for ‘Cool For You’, this experimental short explores thermal vision and the enhanced gaze of 21^st Century warfare, remapped onto the intimacy of the human body with sadomasochistic overtones.
