MARCY SAUDE is an independent Los Angeles-based multimedia artist who recently completed her MFA at the University of Colorado-Boulder. Her films, videos, and performances explore subjects such as marginal histories, the landscape, counterculture, and language, and have been featured at various arts venues and festivals such as the Rotterdam International Film Festival (the Netherlands), Torino Film Festival (Italy), EMAF (European Media Art Festival, Germany), Anthology Film Archives (NYC), Other Cinema (San Francisco), and the Echo Park Film Center (Los Angeles). Her broader interests include DIY aesthetics, creative appropriation, homesteading, the relationship between natural and built environments and politics, expanded notions of non-fiction, and folk magic. This screening will highlight films that probe the boundary between documentary aesthetics and fictional narrative and performance, and is scheduled in connection with the undergraduate seminar FMS110A: Film & Media Theory.
