You Know They Want to Disappear Hell’s Kitchen as Clinton
NYC filmmaker/poet Stephanie Gray has been making mostly film (and some video) since 1998, working largely in the format of Super-8mm. Her vibrant work reflects passionate engagement with the symphonic motions of ever-changing city landscapes filtered through an interlocked awareness of working-class feminism and disability advocacy while engaging playfully with queer pop-cultural icons and poetry. With references to Metallica, Eileen Myles, E.B. White, Kristy McNichol, Laverne & Shirley and more, worlds collide as Gray pries open the everydayness of the city and peers through hand-processed emulsive layers.
