This Monday, we screen Genet à Chatila (1999) as part of Eye on Palestine. The French writer Jean Genet visited the Shatila refugee camp just one day after the massacre there in September 1982. It led to his final book, Prisoner of Love, in which he reflects on the Palestinian revolution, its defeat, and the loss of a homeland. In the film, a young French woman reading the book retraces the landscapes of the Palestinian resistance.

Shellie Fleming was a film­ma­ker and artist who­se work span­ned a wide ran­ge of forms: films, instal­la­ti­ons, street art, books and photo­grap­hy. Much of her work had an ephe­me­ral and time-bound charac­ter, lea­ving only rem­nants today. For Fleming, her life was her art, and the phy­si­cal objects she cre­a­ted were not always inten­ded to be pre­ser­ved or, by exten­si­on, sha­red with a wider audience. Fleming made more than four films in her life­ti­me, but cho­se to allow only the four in the cur­rent pro­gram to be dis­tri­bu­ted after her death in December 2012. For Fleming, her life’s work was her tea­ching. She was one of the most belo­ved and inspi­ring tea­chers of an enti­re gene­ra­ti­on of film­ma­kers, inclu­ding David Gatten, Amie Siegel, Jodie Mack, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lee Jang-wook and Lawrence Brose, all of whom stu­died under Fleming and cite her as an impor­tant men­tor and for­ma­ti­ve influence.

OFFoff: Will Hindle / Shellie Fleming. Double program May4 & 5, 20h - Art Cinema OFFoff, Ghent "OFFoff presents a unique double bill dedicated to the work of American filmmakers and life partners Will Hindle and Michele ​‘Shellie’ Fleming. On two consecutive evenings, we will screen seven 16mm films by Hindle and four 16mm films by Fleming. This marks the first time the work of these two pioneering filmmakers is presented together. The story of Will Hindle and Shellie Fleming as life partners and creative collaborators unfolds in several stages and begins when Fleming, at a young age, sees Hindle’s Chinese Firedrill (1968), a central work in his oeuvre. The film won first prize at the renowned Ann Arbor Film Festival, an accolade that lifted Hindle out of the obscurity of a small circle of filmmaker friends and established him as a prominent figure in the ​“personal film” movement in the United States. Fleming hated the film, but couldn’t get the images out of her head: ​“I dreamed these images… I thought about them out of nowhere. Why had I been split open by the ​‘honesty’ of the darkness rendered on the screen?” Fleming went on to study under Hindle at the University of South Florida. They later became life partners, but their time together was cut short. In 1987, Hindle died unexpectedly at the age of 57." /site/en/events/offoff-will-hindle-shellie-fleming
