Screening | Trust & Safety: Selection of Censored Works


A screening and conversation addressing the challenges faced by organizations entrusted with preserving artworks that test cultural, technological, and institutional limits. Artists and independent media organizations have long developed their own channels of circulation in response to cultural and institutional barriers. Histories of queer experimental media are especially bound up with these challenges. Artists created alternative networks for engaging sexuality, identity, and desire at moments of stringent cultural suppression. Today, commercial platforms apply standardized moderation systems to material whose meaning requires crucial historic context. The program features a selection of works from the collection by Peggy Ahwesh, Alex Bag, Ellen Cantor, Barbara Hammer, and Muntadas. The works were selected in relation to Vimeo’s content moderation policies and the limitations those policies pose for an archive of challenging media. Following the screening, Rebecca Cleman and Michael Connor will discuss the formation of alternative systems for distribution and access. Trust & Safety considers how arts organizations build and maintain their own technological infrastructure, and how federated systems such as PeerTube might support new networks for the circulation of challenging work.

Film | Taazrit (2024): Algerian Documentary + Book Discussion


Lucy McNair and Habiba Boumlik discuss their book, An Introduction to North African Indigenous Film (2025), with a screening of Taazrit (2024). Amazigh Cinema: Introduction to North African Indigenous Film (2025), co-edited by Lucy McNair and Yahya Laayouni, is a collection of essays by an international group of experts on North African Indigenous expression and media, which offers the first English-language analysis of Amazigh cinema for North American and global readers, taking note of a growing archive of under-examined Amazigh-related films. Taazrit (2024): This film follows the daily life of Habiba, a Chaoui woman from Ghassira, a semi-desert village in the Aurès Mountains of eastern Algeria. Far from neo-orientalist stereotypes, her relationship to the land resonates as an expression of collective memory — the memory of generations of women who shaped their lives beyond official narratives and modern conceptions that reduce belonging to an act of ownership. In Arabic, Chaoui, and French, with English subtitles.

Film | How I See It: Rocco (2026) -- Short Music Documentary + Live Performances & FIlmmaker Discussion


When Rocco Fiorentino was born four months premature, doctors gave him a less than 5% chance of survival. His unyielding spirit shone through from the beginning, and while his retinopathy of prematurity left him completely blind, he overcame the odds and began an incredible life journey. His music-filled story explores the nature of inner vision and deep human connection, and reveals that sometimes our eyes get in the way of true seeing. As guests arrive, the evening will kick off with a performance* by the FMDG Music School Latin Jazz Ensemble, then by the short documentary film How I See It: Rocco. This will be followed by a post-film talkback with legally blind director and filmmaker Daria Zawadzki, co-director and filmmaker Karen Shapiro, Emmy-winning producer and filmmaker Shaun Kadlec, and Rocco Fiorentino. The evening will conclude with a performance by The Mama Foundation’s Sing Harlem choir, followed by a chance to mingle. Directors: Daria Zawadzki, Karen Shapiro
