SUMMARY:20/20 Visionaries DAYNA MCLEOD
DESCRIPTION:In honour of our 20 years we asked memorable\, former Reelout guest and media artist Dayna McLeod to choose 20 minutes of her work to screen for an audience followed by a 20 minute\, moderated discussion and questions from the audience. We’re calling it 20/20 Visionaries and we hope you’ll spend the early part of your day spending an intimate time with an independent\, Canadian media artist! \nThe Artist: Dayna McLeod \nI am a Montréal performance-based artist. My work uses humour\, and capitalizes on exploiting the body’s social and material conditions using cabaret\, duration\, single channel video\, and installation practices. My interests of artistic and theoretical research are in sexual identity construction\, gender\, feminism\, anti-feminist backlash\, homophobia\, and media representations of sexuality\, queer identity\, and the female body as public property. I am also interested in copyright/copyleft\, Fair Dealing and Fair Use\, and their implications on media production and remix culture. I often use remix techniques and strategies to queer and otherwise mashup mainstream media culture. I have vast and varied production experience that is based on in-depth research that crosses media platforms. I am a PhD candidate at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture at Concordia University pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in Humanities that combines studies in performance art\, feminism\, queer theory\, age\, and research-creation\, and centres my art practice. \nThe Works: \nMaster Libation by Dayna McLeod\, 2002\, 4:25 minutes\, digital colour animation\nThat’s Right Diana Barry- You Needed Me by Dayna McLeod\, 2009\, 6:48 minutes\, colour\nThong5 by Dayna McLeod\, 2010\, 4:10 minutes\, colour\nHeadphone Karaoke: Don’t Stop Believin’ by Dayna McLeod\, 2018\, 1:54 minutes minutes\, colour\nI Live for Menopause by Dayna McLeod\, 2018\, 4:15 minutes\, colour\n\nThe Moderator: Amy Lucille Wilding\nAmy Lucille Wilding is a comedian\, improviser\, actor\, host and teacher. Her high energy\, quick wit and rolodex of zany characters can be found on many stages from Vancouver to Kingston. Upon arriving in Kingston\, she became friends with Alice Adam\, (Regional Producer of The Canadian Improv Games) they joined forces and created the Kingston Improv Collective. They currently teach an Open Improv Jam Workshop Tuesday evenings at Cafe Church. She is the Host and Producer of ‘The Amy Wilding Show!’\, a live variety style show featuring Improv and Sketch Comedy. Amy loves connecting with people and making them laugh! \nCommunity Sponsor: Kingston OPIRG \n[reelout-clear]

SUMMARY:AISLES OF LESBOS
DESCRIPTION:When archiving memorable films from Reelout’s 20 years\, one thing was undeniable\, in our earlier years\, Reelout was far more risk-taking and subversive when it came to depicting sex and sexuality on the big screen when we first began.  While LGBTQ Canadians still struggled for human rights Reelout made no apologies in creating a space that defiantly said\, EVERYWHERE ELSE IS YOURS\, THIS SPACE IS QUEER. And nothing says 110% queer film and video than honest and explicit sexuality depicted on screen.  So FAIR WARNING this is one of four specially-designed shorts programs that has been carefully curated for mature queer audiences that will include explicit nudity and sexual activities VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED and only MATURE AUDIENCES 18 years + will be admitted. \nAISLES OF LESBOS (1999-2018) we are filling the theatre from aisle to aisle with short films celebrating female sexuality and relationships in all their glory (and mediocrity) We trust you’ll bring your sisters\, lovers and friends to join us so we ensure this program lives up to its name!  You’ll see memorable film and video from Reelout’s past years and the latest and best lesbian short films from 2018.  We hope these films will tickle you pink. \nThe Housesitter by Melissa Levin/2001/15 min/CANADA Two neurotic dykes describe in hilarious detail how to take care of their 3 cats. \nbed by Evie Leder/1999/14min/USA bed offers a playful new look at female desire and queer sexuality. Raw\, edgy and sexy. Stunning black-and-white images of two women making love are juxtaposed with dreamy scenes of city life\, illuminating the contrast between public and private life that many women\, lesbian in particular\, share.A rich soundtrack incorporates original vocals and ambient elements with sexy\, funky trip-hop music. “This well-crafted work of art turned me on\, made me wet and stimulated my good taste in art.” – Annie Sprinkle \nAfter Morning by Kelly O’Brien/1999/5 min/CANADA Things the filmmaker forgot and learned about birth control on her trip to America. \nYou Fake by Maureen Bradley/2003/6 min/CANADA In this hilarious short\, two women bet on how many lesbians fake orgasms. \nWatching Lesbian Porn by Dayna McLeod/2001/10 min/CANADA Arming herself with feminist texts from the likes of Judith Butler\, Luce Irigaray\, Laura Mulvey\, bell hooks\, and Andrea Dworkin\, Dayna McLeod describes to her audience how flexible these texts are\, and demonstrates how they can be used as foreplay when dating a feminist who is opposed to pornography. Meanwhile\, two “Porn Star Lesbians” go at it in a 70’s bedroom set behind McLeod during this monologue who is oblivious to their existence. Ginger Discovery and Lucky Chopps give a full-on\, over-the-top performance that is charged with campy choreography and cheesy slapstick. \nInterviews with My Next Girlfriend by Cassandra Nicolaou/2001/13 min/CANADA The fight to win the title of next girlfriend is the subject of this hilarious short by director Cassandra Nicolaou. Starring a cast of Toronto celebrities including Ann-Marie Macdonald\, Diane Flacks\, Karen Robinson\, Shoshana Sperling and Moynan King\, nine women are questioned by an unknown interviewer to see if they measure up. \nYou Don’t Bring Me Flowers by Jess Dobkin/2012/6 min/CANADA An amusing and provocative re-imaging of Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond’s 1970’s hit single\, “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers” where the artist\, playing both roles of Streisand and Diamond\, lip syncs the duet as a solo. “Flowers” was created from documentation of a live performance\, shot by seventeen audience members using mobile devices ranging from cell phones to HD cameras. \nRubb My Chubb by Alexis Mitchell/2007/9:30min/CANADA This short documentary follows the Fat Femme Mafia\, their fat co-conspirators and allies in the days leading up to their first and highly anticipated event. Through interviews\, asides\, and performances\, Rubb My Chubb lays the groundwork for these fierce fatties to continue to make their politics known to the rest of the world. \nStripped by Jevon Boreland and Anthony Hunos/2018/10min/CANADA\nSTRIPPED is the personal\, untold story of Phylicia Carty\, also known as Mz Lady Ice\, whose life took her in the direction of becoming one of the most revolutionary urban exotic dancers in the Toronto adult entertainment industry.

SUMMARY:YouTube Made Me A Monster Documentary Double Bill
DESCRIPTION:Samantha Hudson and The Quiet Rebel were two fascinating documentary submissions to Reelout this year that our programming committee felt should be screened together.  One story is about a radical feminist in Australia and the other is about an “electroqueer” youth in Spain.  Carole Cassier’s documentary is as “quiet” and contemplative as the title suggests and slowly “unravels” (pardon the pun) Casey’s story while Joan Purcel uses a fly-on-the-wall approach for a subject like Samantha Hudson who stands far and away from any wall.  Interestingly though\, both documentary subjects are artists who have chosen social media to exhibit their talents and both films excellently document how internet fame can be utterly destructive to a creator. \nSamantha Hudson (Samantha Hudson\, una historia de fe\, sexo y electroqueer) \nD. Joan Purcel\, Documentary\, 60 min\, SPAIN\, 2018. Spanish with English subtitles. \nOntario Premiere. He was a high school icon and now he’s an Instagram icon. Many people admire him\, others hate him\, but he doesn’t leave anyone indifferent. Neither will this astonishing documentary film where there is a lot of sex\, faith and all the electroqueer in the world. Hesitantly and perhaps against our better judgement..Follow Samantha on YouTube \nThe Quiet Rebel \nD. Carole Cassier/Documentary\, 49 min\, France\, 2018. English. \nThe Quite Rebel tells the story of radical feminist and Australian performance artist Casey Jenkins and her rise to internet fame- and her efforts to battle subsequent shame. Casey Jenkins did not intend to become an internet phenomenon in 2013 when she first performed “Casting off my Womb” in Darwin\, Australia. For 28 days\, she knit with wool that she pulled out of her vagina as a meditation on fertility. A clip of her performance soon went viral\, totalling at 7.5 million views on YouTube. A hurricane of negative\, violent and sexist comments soon followed. Rather than let herself be silenced\, Casey decided to subvert the material. In 2016\, she created a new performance piece\, “Programmed to Reproduce\,” tackling internet mob mentality. \nThis documentary is a timely\, thought-provoking look at the explosive mix of controversial art and the internet\, and a queer woman artist’s refusal to remain silent. \nWatch The Quiet Rebel  TRAILER \nCommunity Sponsor: Queen’s EngiQueers

SUMMARY:SHAKEDOWN
DESCRIPTION:SHAKEDOWN \nD. Leilah Weinraub/2018/USA/80min/Documentary Feature \nShakedown\, a series of parties by and for black women\, dominated Los Angeles’s underground lesbian strip club scene from the 1990s through the 2000s. This film is equal parts provocative\, touching\, sexy\, and nostalgic for days long gone.  Director Leilah Weinraub captures the glamour\, grit\, and joy of club life at Shakedown\, from welcoming the birth of the first Shakedown baby\, to dancers being harassed and arrested by the LAPD. We meet a captivating crew\, including Miss Mahogany\, a black house mother who has organized parties since the ’80s; Egypt\, a femme performer with an alter ego as dominant Sasha Fierce\, but a voice so soft you’d never know it was coming from the same person; and Ronnie Ron\, Miss Mahogany’s butch lesbian protégé\, a brilliant MC and the founder of Shakedown Productions. \nIt’s a celebration of a unique time and space\, crackling with footage that (amazingly) was shot and has survived. So settle in and grab some dollar bills. These girls know how to put on a show. \nWatch documentarian Leilah Weinraub talk about ShakeDown at the Berlinale Film Festival earlier this year.

SUMMARY:COATS OF HER (encore performance)
DESCRIPTION:There are two performances of COATS OF HER at 7pm Friday\, February 8th and 7pm Saturday\, February 9\, 2019 in the Performance Space at the Tett Centre for Creativity and Learning. Reelout is thrilled to shine the spotlight on celebrated dancer/choreographer Kay Kenney and Movement Market/COLLECTIVE along with films by Emily Pelstring\, C. Hudson Hwang and Martha Newbigging in a program called COATS OF HER. This special presentation is co-sponsored by Tett Centre for Creativity & Learning and Kingston School of Dance . This evening will be layered between film and dance narration collectively inspired by feminine solidarity. A process reflecting the strong femme we’re encouraged to be\, mixed with limitations created through inhibitions\, while finding ways to enjoy the dark and light sides of ourselves. Expressed through two brand new choreographies created by Kay Kenney and Movement Market/COLLECTIVE\, followed by a revisit and extension of “There’s Something About Women in Coats” which premiered in Kingston last spring. \n\nThe Films \nSolo by Martha Newbigging/Canada / 5:40 / 2005 / sound / colour \nA single gal venturing into a bar finds a groove all on her own. \n  \n  \n\n28 Days by Emily Pelstring/Canada / 3:09 / 2013 / sound / colour / English \nThis video pays stylistic homage to girl punks and 1960’s rock and roll girl groups. Camera moves and mise-en-scene are inspired by the 1963 music film for “He’s Got the Power” by the Exciters. The video responds to the song’s theme of menstruation by presenting a series of celebratory images of female solidarity. \n  \n\nMy Best Dress by C. Hudson Hwang/Canada / 4:12 / 2012 / sound / colour & b/w / English \nThe title My Best Dress is interpreted in two divergent yet related directions: the attire one would wear out to a club\, or alternatively\, to a funeral. In this context\, the music video represents both a celebration of youth culture\, particularly with finding acceptance\, expression and love within queer youth ball culture\, and conversely\, the inherent dangers associated with the reckless\, uninformed and unprepared dark-side of underground culture. Music by MURR\, featuring Rosina. \n\nAbout Kay \nOriginally from Kingston\, ON\, Kenney graduated from the Professional Contemporary Dance Programme at The School of Dance(Ottawa) in 2012.   Since then Kay has collaborated in research and performance with Caroline Barrière\, Cathy Kyle-Fenton\, Sylvie Desrosiers/Dorsale Danse\, Jocelyn Todd/Lawless Dance Co\, Mayday Danse\, Peggy Baker Dance Projects\, Andrea Nann/Dreamwalker Dance Co\, and Dark Horse Dance Projects.  For 5 years Kay performed and choreographed work for Dances By Youth For Youth\, a project originally mentored byPeter Boneham through The School of Dance. \nIn 2016 Kay successfully brought the 1st local full length contemporary dance production to Kingston\, followed by spring 2017 where she was the first local dance artist presented at The Isabel Bader Centre for Performing Arts.  Most recently she directed and mentored the first local Contemporary Dance Series to be hosted in Kingston\, Movement Market/SERIES 2018. \nA proud company member of Ottawa Dance Directive for the past four seasons\, collaborating with artists such as Chick Snipper\, Andrew Turner\, Mélanie Dermers\, Harold Rhéaume and artistic director Yvonne Coutts.  Since 2013 Kenney has been a company member of Social Growl Dance(Riley Sims/Toronto) and also acts a rehearsal director for projects and intensives.  Kay is a proud member of the Kingston Community and is passionate about evolving the artistic experiences within the city\, to open knew doors and give new opportunities for expression and collaboration through movement. \n  \n  \n\n+ GOOGLE CALENDAR
