We’re closing out the year by gathering around the home as stage, ritual, and refuge 🌒

Tomorrow, Dec 14, join us for Dani & Sheilah ReStack’s Feral Domestic Trilogy — three tender, mythic, deeply embodied films tracing q***r desire, devotion, rupture, and family-making. This night is presented in partnership with The Chelsea Theater and

Made between 2017–2021, these works blur art and everyday life, offering a radical vision of intimacy in a world under pressure.

We’ll also catch a sneak peek of a new short they are developing while here Stovepipe to the Sun that combines research into a 19th century separatist women’s community in Belton, Texas and speculative filmmaking, as the filmmakers cast themselves and their friends as the present-day descendants. 

“Being collaborators is like being life partners—full of compromise, and difficulty, and beauty. I think both of us see our collaboration as a domain that is somehow sacred; it allows us to recharge and feel committed to what we are together. The work we make is about the domestic, and I want to honor that as a site of creation and resistance; but I also don’t want to deny how difficult day to day life can be, and how it can be hard to see things other than as a long list of chores to be checked off. Artistic collaboration is our jumpcut to something else.” – Sheilah ReStack, Bomb Magazine

“To live a feral domestic life is an aspiration, a refusal to be domesticated by capitalism. It’s an idea of the home being a generative place rather than simply a place of respite. Let’s sing at the top of our lungs while doing dishes! Let’s chase each other and roar like lions in the dining room! Of course we have to make dentist appointments, get the car fixed, and pay taxes; but we are refusing to let capitalism infuse us with fear.” – Dani ReStack, Bomb Magazine

Join us and Dani & Sheilah for their embodied, bold, and feeling films and for a chance to meet the artists for a conversation following the program.
