Film Screening + Conversation with Kenneth Tam

In conjunction with the TUAG exhibition Kenneth Tam: Standing in Soft Formation and in collaboration with Tufts Film + Media Studies Program, we are  thrilled to present a special screening of three short films/ videos by  Kenneth Tam: All of M (2019), Breakfast in Bed (2016), and sump (2015). The screening will be followed by a light reception. 

As evident in Standing in Soft Formation, Tam’s work in  film, video and sculpture has long explored and critiqued modern-day  masculinity through staged social rituals that trade in deep  awkwardness: be they pre-prom photo-shoots, fraternity probates, or  all-male clubs. Working with non-actors found via Craigs’ List, Tam  loosely scripts scenes for performance, creating often tender, funny,  and yes, awkward videos and films.

All are welcomed but advance registration on the TUAG event page is appreciated.
