Although Maya Deren was the face that launched a thousand clips, her oft-overlooked contemporary Sara-Kathryn Arledge was just as pivotal in the development of a women's avant-garde. Arledge's wondrous cine-dance, Introspection, takes center stage during the Women's Experimental Screening Series, a '40s-to-present survey of rare and new works by female filmmakers. For three nights, the XX-chromosome curators (MM Serra, Rebecca Cleman, and Marie Losier) steep spectators in mind-expanding visuals. Besides Arledge's rara avis, Shannon Plumb and Martha Colburn contribute fresh reels, while Peggy Ahwesh's acclaimed Star Eaters closes shop with its "narrative-like" descent into a somber, memory-laced Atlantic City.
