A Date with Shirley

Dir. Ken Jacobs. 2025, 48 mins. U.S. Digital. This colorful and cubist record of a Chinatown haircut is the final long-form work by the great avant-garde filmmaker Ken Jacobs, who died last October. As with his first film, Orchard Street (1955), made 70 years earlier, A Date with Shirley is a slice of New York City life that transforms urban energy into cinematic spectacle. Three cameras capture the action, one operated by Ken as he is having his Einstein-ian locks shorn, and the others by his children, Aza and Nisi. A loving and poignant family scene, the film is also a dazzling work of art—and a tribute to a fine barber whose phone number is offered in the credits

South Carolina: As if the Grief Were Not Enough

A Case of Criminalizing Pregnancy Loss: A public service announcement about the prosecution of a South Carolina woman who was cruelly arrested after her miscarriage for improperly disposing of fetal remains even though there are no legally established guidelines for that. This is the third in a series of spots about the criminalization of pregnancy loss in the United States, a side effect of the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs decision of 2023, and a strategy of anti-abortion forces to normalize the idea of “fetal personhood.”

Imagine a dream-centric world. A world more focused on inner than outer. A world where reality begins in dreams. The writer Jane Roberts dreamt of such a world. In the 1970s-80s, she published a series of best-selling books collectively known as the “Seth Material”. Drawn from these texts, and filmed in the house where she lived and wrote, this is a nocturnal meditation, an oneiric exercise, a dream seed, a primer for the movie your mind will make when you go to sleep tonight.
