Bill Basquin
Still from From Inside of Here (2020), directed by Bill Basquin
From Inside of Here is a feature-length film meditation on vulnerability and interconnection through the lens of a natural forest and through the body of the filmmaker. Bill Basquin structured the filming of From Inside of Here around a series of camping trips to the Gila National Forest in New Mexico, which is the site for the reintroduction of the endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. The place itself is a character in the film, as are the filmmaker’s methods. The film is composed of multiple digital and analog formats: 16mm film, HD video, infrared stills, inter-titles, and sound recordings. From Inside of Here is preceded by Tending the Orchard, a collaboration around an orchard initiated by Basquin with co-director Katherine Agard that brings up history, anger, colonial violence, and the chance to feel the closeness of relationship.
The program includes a post-screening talk with Bill Basquin and Katherine Agard, moderated by Jheanelle Brown.
