Venue: Anthology Film Archives
Full program and tickets here.
 
Running in parallel with Alison Nguyen's solo exhibition "Perforation, Ellipse" at the Storefront for Art and Architecture, the cinema cut of Aisle 9 will premiere in New York at Anthology Film Archives. The screening includes other short films that share questions around censorship, decoding, and reconstructing memory, from various geopolitical vantage points. A conversation between Nguyen and Storefront curator Jessica Kwok will follow.
 
Set in a speculative future, Aisle 9 follows a group of workers who hang out after hours in a hosiery warehouse. They shoot archery, play cards, and trade conspiracy theories as their workplace lurches towards foreclosure. An errant arrow leads them to a sequestered storage area overflowing with mysterious boxes marked with the logo of an unknown tech company. Inside the boxes they discover a trove of government-banned media prompting them to turn Aisle 9 into an adhoc viewing room.
