Terribly sad to hear of the passing of the indefatigable writer, curator & professor Bérénice Reynaud. Whether writing on Hou or Akerman or defending emerging artists, she was always a force & inspiration. Love to her family, friends & colleagues at CalArts, REDCAT and more. ❤️
A laneway in Paris will be named for Chantal Akerman in her favourite neighbourhood. 💕 ✨

See You Later/Au Revoir – Wavelengths exists because of Michael Snow, brilliant artist, filmmaker, musician & friend. Our love goes to his family & numerous friends around the world. <—> ❤️
Very excited to be showing FAUNA, the latest by Mexican/Canadian filmmaker Nicolás Pereda '20. One of Pereda's bests and something of a departure, FAUNA is a sly, super smart & comedic take on violence in Mexican popular imagination. With hints of Hong Sang-soo...

Terribly saddened by the passing of Robert Fenz. A committed filmmaker & artist whose voice will be missed. Inspired by greats Roy DeCarava, Chantal Akerman, Peter Hutton & Johan van der Keuken, Fenz was singularly talented. Hope to see his films travel.

Although her smile was generous and infectious, I love this photo of her. Determined, forging ahead, going places few were willing to go, and going all the way. Alone, but gathering and growing communities along the way. #BarbaraHammer

Wavelengths is thrilled to co-present Sofia Bohdanowicz's latest screening in Short Cuts 2. Shot in dreamy Super 16mm & starring Deragh Campbell, POINT AND LINE TO PLANE is a personal meditation on magical thinking & mourning, filtered through art (a balm for the soul).
