Susanna Helke, still from "Sin" (1996)

Cinema Project, Pacific University, and the NW Film Center co-present The Cinematic Practice of Replayed Reality: Work by Susanna Helke. "As part of Cinema Project's ongoing Beyond Borders series, Finnish documentary filmmaker, university lecturer, and film theorist Susanna Helke comes to Portland for one night only to present and discuss a sampling of her film and video work. In both 35mm and digital video, her films, co-directed with Virpi Suutari, question the practices of non-fiction filmmaking. Playing with the borders of documentary and fiction, the pair work in the Flahertian tradition of documentaire joué, or as Helke describes it, 'the cinematic practice of replayed reality.'" Four works will be screened: "Sin" (1996), "Spring" (2006), "War" (2006), and "White Sky" (1998).
