Pawel Wojtasik (Single Stream, Nine Gates) returns to the F.I.L.M. (Forum on Image and Language in Motion) series with co-director John Bruce to present their new feature film, End of Life, a series of portraits of women and men at the edge of mortality itself. The screening takes place Sunday, Oct. 13, at 2 p.m., in the Bradford Auditorium, KJ. This and all F.I.L.M. events are free and open to the public.
Wojtasik, whose work has been shown at MASS MoCA, the Whitney Biennial, and the Museum of the Moving Image, is known for his poetic reflections on cultures and ecosystems in films and large-scale installations.
John Bruce – a production manager, art director, and platform producer for several feature films and transmedia projects addressing social issues – teaches at Parsons School of Design, where he leads the Design for Living and Dying studio in the Transdisciplinary MFA program.
