Garrett Bradley sprinkles Eye with a sense of revolution

If you’ve ever been to the Eye Filmmuseum, you probably understand there’s few other ways to immerse yourself into cinematography as vividly as it is granted inside their exhibition space. Starting this weekend, it is Garrett Bradley’s time to shine in their 360° screen-scape. If you are unfamiliar with her work, let us briefly make the introductions – Bradley is an Oscar-nominee filmmaker (and 2023 Eye-film prize winner!) with a propensity for American visual culture and the politics guilefully woven into our day to day lives. Poking at different genres in the process of finding her authentic filmmaking style, her oeuvre spans documentary, experimental, and even confessional, given her way of asking questions onscreen which she otherwise “didn’t feel safe asking without a camera”. Her work is simultaneously serious and fun – shooting straight into the heart of our feeble and oftentimes incomprehensible century, she persuades us to engage critically with the state of affairs. She does that without requiring much conviction – her work does it seamlessly on her behalf (peak at her debut feature-length film “Below Dreams”, the grandiosely-named “America” or her short “Time”, dealing with U.S. incarceration from a “distinctly Black southern, feminist perspective”).
From 14th June onwards, you will be able to access a glimpse into this universe, true to Eye’s curatorial habits – think labyrinths of screens accentuating her work’s artistic potential (besides its cinematic genius), publications, memorabilia, and public talks with the director herself.
