They Shoot Videos, Vol 3

This is latest edition of our bi-monthly screening series, showcasing music videos, film and related art projects. Often premiering new works from prominent filmmakers, the event is curated by director Scott Cudmore. Focusing on the directors, the works will be presented on a giant screen as well as monitors within the gallery with headphones. Rather than with a formal screening, viewers are free to explore the work on their own terms, much like you would with other work presented in a gallery setting. The point is to present music videos and their counterparts as an artistic product and a unique medium of filmmaking.
