Flaherty NYC: Opacity Spirals

Maysles Documentary Center is thrilled to announce its 2022 Spring Flaherty NYC, Opacity Spirals, programmed by Janaína Oliveira and Inney Prakash in collaboration with Flaherty NYC.

The series will run April 14th to April 28th at the Maysles Documentary Center and feature a reconfiguration of several films from the 2021 Flaherty Film Seminar— titled Opacity— with the addition of three films by the Otolith Group. By introducing the voices of another programmer and set of artists, the program hopes to highlight the way dialogues can be extended through ongoing interventions and by finding resonances as they echo through the world. Each program will be followed by a conversation with the filmmakers.
