Intimate Politics at the Roxie Theater
October 22, 2025

Carolee Schneemann’s films Viet-Flakes (1962-67), Fuses (1964-1967), and Plumb Line (1968-1971) will be screened in Intimate Politics at the Roxie Theater in San Francisco on October 22 at 6:15 pm!

Intimate Politics puts Schneemann’s films in conversation with Gunvor Nelson’s My Name Is Oona (1969) and JoAnn Elam’s Lie Back and Enjoy It (1982), exploring the ways in which found footage and personal imagery can be used to investigate memory, politics, and sexuality.

Presented by the Carolee Schneemann Foundation and Canyon Cinema, this screening marks the West Coast premiere of newly restored 16mm prints of Plumb Line and Viet-Flakes, and will be followed by a Q&A with Rachel Churner, the director of Carolee Schneemann Foundation.
