Independent Filmmaker Deborah Stratman Visits

Chicago-based experimental filmmaker Deborah Stratman will screen “In Order Not Be Here” and other experimental short films at 7pm Tuesday, March 31 at The Screening Room (127 E. Congress Street). The event is free and open to the public.

Stratman’s work plies the territory between experimental and documentary genres. Shot entirely at night, “In Order Not Be Here” is a flight through hysteria and police surveillance in suburban America. Stratman will also screen 16mm prints of "The Paranormal Trilogy,” a series of works that collectively address concepts of the paranormal in the information age.

Stratman’s work has screened at the Sundance Film Festival, the Rotterdam Film Festival, the Whitney Biennial, Centre Pompidou and MoMA – NYC, among other venues. The program is from 7:00pm-8:15pm and will include a Q&A with Stratman. For more on Stratman’s work see: http://www.pythagorasfilm.com/
