Barbara Hammer’s “Menses” (1974) will accompany A.K. Burns and A.L. Steiner’s “Community Action Center” (2010) and Jerry Tartaglia’s “See for Yourself” (1995) for a program at MoMA on May 29th at 7:30pm!
A wry comedy on the disagreeable aspects of menstruation, in which women act out their own dramas on a California hillside, in a supermarket, in a red-filtered ritual of mutual bonding. “Menses” combines both the imagery and the politics of menstruation in a fine blend of comedy and drama.
The program is part of MoMA’s film series “Queer and Uncensored,” which runs through June 27th. For tickets and more information on the program, visit the link below!
