Schneemann’s self-shot erotic film, made over several years at her home in upstate New York, remains a powerful ode to intimacy. “The notorious masterpiece... a silent celebration in colour of heterosexual love making. The film unifies erotic energies within a domestic environment through cutting, superimposition and layering of abstract impressions scratched into the celluloid itself... Fuses succeeds perhaps more than any other film in objectifying the sexual streamings of the body’s mind” — The Guardian, London
AFA is presenting the new 16mm print of the restored version. A roundtable discussion with John Klacsmann, Andrew Lampert, Erica Levin, Kenneth White and CSF Director Rachel Churner follows the screening.
