Crosstown Arts and Indie Memphis are thrilled to be hosting the first combined MicroCinema and Shoot & Splice experience: An Evening with Hope Tucker! Join us as we dive into the experimental documentary shorts and filmmaking practice of filmmaker and Memphian Hope Tucker – whose most recent short, What Travelers Are Saying About Jornada Del Muerto, screened at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival and here in Memphis as part of our Sundance Satellite Screenings!

Tucker’s shorts, or obituaries, as part of her longitudinal project The Obituary Project, contain a rigor that invites viewers to consider constructions of public memory, the long lasting impacts of nuclear research on place and people, and largely through text and materials, illustrates the ways in which people interact and reframe the various sites she’s visited throughout the twenty-two year span of the Project.

The evening will begin with a screening of three of the filmmaker’s works, and will be followed by a conversation centered on Hope’s approach and experiences with creating experimental documentary work.
