still from Chris Combs, Merry-Go-Round

Thursday September 3 * 7pm * $10-20 * TICKETS

Rhizome DC and Filament present the third edition of A Night of Moving Images, a juried showcase of short film and video from the DMV and beyond. The screening will be followed by a conversation with the selected artists. Prints of the films will be screened when possible.

The selected artists are Chris Combs, Connor Parsley, Dwayne LeBlanc, Ellery Bryan, Emanda Womer, Emily Francisco and workshop participants, Jamie Nhi Vuong, Jeremy Moss, Julianna McCormick, Lily Ekimian Ragheb and Ahmed T. Ragheb, Nzingha Kendall, Phil Davis, Veronica Melendez, and Yizhen Zoe Lyu.

We’re also excited to present work by the recipients of our second microgrant. Four local artists received $200 towards the production or completion of a new audiovisual work. The recipients are Jack Gross, Jo Jovel, Osheen Keshishian, and Paul Oh. The runners-up are Amelia Mylvaganam, Andrew Tamburrino, and Gillian Tomlinson.

A sliding scale entry fee of $10 to $20 will go toward supporting our mission of providing challenging, community-driven cultural programming. Tickets can be purchased at the door or online. Guests are encouraged to follow @rhizome_dc for updates.
