The Visual Student Workshop Film Archive contains more than 5,000 16mm films primarily originating from the Rochester Public Library and regional universities. SLUDGE takes its name from an extrasensory TikTok fad of simultaneously showing multiple unrelated videos on one screen – an extreme example of the evolution of attention spans.The SLUDGE Film series offers an evening's experiment of titles and topics from VSW's film collection shown in fresh juxtapositions, finding new interpretations within educational, documentary, propaganda, and animated films of the 1940s-80s. Preceded by Rianna Jade Parker open studio 6-7pm.
