Cindy Sherman: Picture This

In this intimate portrait, iconic and legendary artist, Cindy Sherman, reveals her childhood preoccupation with family photos, the reason behind her use of photography, and what challenges she has overcome in her four decades plus career. With self-effacing charm and candor she confesses to competitiveness with male painters, collectors' initial rejection of her work and how her personal shyness drove her to play with costume and identity. Shot on location in her Tribeca and  East Hampton, NY studios, Cindy Sherman: Picture This reveals a side of the enigmatic artist rarely seen on film.

In the short film directed by Sophie Chahinian, “Shirin Neshat: Voice of a Woman,” internationally acclaimed Iranian American artist Shirin Neshat discusses the foremost theme of her work- women’s bodies as a locus for political and religious exploitation. Beginning in the 1990’s with her series “The Women of Allah” and carried through to her most recent exhibition “The Fury,” she continues to risk criticism and judgment as she furthers the issue of women’s rights. She also discusses the distinction between art and propaganda, which is increasingly misunderstood in our current globally divisive environment. “Shirin Neshat: Voice of a Woman” is a timely call to action to people everywhere to unify and fight for equality as women’s rights are being violated and eliminated around the world.
