In this conversation, the complex and various relationships of, engendered by, and toward motherhood will be explored through documentary film and experimental video works selected by local and international artist-filmmaker-mothers. We will consider the roles and challenges of motherhood as explored through the diverse and culturally specific perspectives in a film and video program and as it intersects with being an artist/filmmaker today. A parallel screening of selected works will be available for participants to view in advance of our dialogue with the artist-mother-filmmakers.
