The Films of Lisa Gornick: A live drawing exploration

Queer@King's is delighted to host the artist and filmmaker Lisa Gornick.

Using real time projected drawing, music, voice over, comedy and personal anecdotes this is a behind the scenes look at the films of Lisa Gornick. She will excavate her notes and diaries around the time of her filmmaking to explore the process she went through to make her three features and various shorts.

This will be a show that will have at its core the personal journey of a filmmaker who worked mainly in the early 21st century and now would like to return to that medium. Where is filmmaking now for her? New notes to be made, new discoveries she will share. This is an ongoing process - this is an invitation to be there for the start of it.
