Filmes

Children of Lir
Director
An impressive flicker animation comprised of Time magazine photographs, Katherin McInnis’ Children of Lir combines an Irish tale of children set adrift as swans and the tragic poisoning of water in Flint and other American communities.
The Two Sights
Director
A "false translation" of the 1,000 year old book of optics...
Hat Trick
Director
An animated exploration of magic and moon landings, made entirely with behind the scenes stills from pre-digital cinema and NASA simulations.
Aviary
Director
A collage that investigates the scientific and military uses of pigeons. Filthy and smart, secret and ubiquitous, passenger and carrier, pigeons (or doves) are a metaphor for communication as weapon and war casualty.
Artificial Persons
Director
A film about hoaxes, from the Cardiff Giant to corporate personhood.
Snakes and Ladders
Director
A mashup of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and Wall Street collapses.
Horizon Line
Director
This film excavates the relationship between social and natural geography of Eastern State Penitentiary, one of the first prisons in the United States. The walls were painted to reflect the horizon line outside the walls; the decay of the prison has turned this two dimensional land and sky into intricate textures and layers: a physical incarnation of the passage of time.
Eye of a Needle
Director
Archival stills of the Great Depression come shuddering to life in Katherin McInnis’s work of photographic montage. Rapidly alternating, minutely offset images of young farm laborers in the American South create the illusion of movement around a cut-out focal point, matched by a scratch beat built on chasms of negative space.
