wotever

August 30 — September 02, 2014
The Wotever DIY Film Festival is a celebration of queer lo-fi filmmaking in all its handmade genius. It’s our third year and we are bigger than ever, with dozens of films, talks and events from established directors to first time newbies – proving you don’t need a million pounds to make a great film. We’re lucky to be holding this year’s event at the beautiful Cinema Museum in Kennington and the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Vauxhall.

Four of my videos were selected to be shown at this festival. I’m very excited!

Gloucester City’s Radioactive Legacy

Posted on by krissy

This clean-up in Gloucester City continues.
The poisoning from radioactive thorium must be even worse than anyone can even comprehend, because imagine a $440 million (thats 4 BILLION DOLLAR) settlement being reached in this pro-business economy. It is that bad. There are still 2 active clean-up sites in Gloucester City now.

Here’s some good news: People of good will are on the move.
Impossibility Now is a trans* politics manifesto by Dean Spade. Dean made “Impossibility Now” for the February 2013 “Gender Talents: A Special Address” Conference at the Tate Modern in London. The Conference asked invited speakers to perform a manifesto. The video takes themes from Dean’s book, Normal Life, and illustrates them with images.

Jobina Tinnemans – Film trailer

Posted on by krissy

As some of you know, I videotaped a performance of Jobina Tinnemans this year. I was thrilled when i recived this in an email this week:
“I ended up working on the ‘Killing Time’ commission all of last year: the many bits of footage filmed during the entire experience developed into a much bigger project than I had ever foreseen – a 54 minutes art house documentary – set in New York and Pembrokeshire. Due to differences in resolution I wasn’t able to use much of your footage, Krissy, still the shots that are used were unmissable :)”

The 2 mins film trailer is here: http://vimeo.com/79311832. It premiered on November 22nd in Pembrokeshire.

My BIG Media week

Posted on by krissy

Well WhaddayaKnow? Plop a tiara on my head and call me “Miss Media Empire” — THREE TIMES this week I appeared on someone else’s intertube world.

On the neighborhood blog called South Slope News (with Faggotgirl).
On Adapting Spaces, who published a short article i wrote about apartment renovations.
And on Huffington Post, in a very unflattering photo of me walking in protest of gay bashing.
