This screening will be followed by a Q&A with William Kaizen, author of Against Immediacy: Video Art and Media Populism.

Shortly after THREE LIVES, Kleckner joined another team of feminist filmmakers to produce the first all-woman broadcast television production, ANOTHER LOOK (AT THE MIAMI CONVENTION). Made by the Women’s Video News Service (WVNS), which included Kleckner, Wendy Appel, Pat de Pew, Mary Feldbauer, Carolyn Kreski, and Rita Ogden, ANOTHER LOOK covers the 1972 Democratic National Convention and the presidential candidacy of Shirley Chisholm, the first African American and the first woman to run for the Democratic nomination. Employing reflexive reportage that calls attention to their role in the video’s construction (itself a political statement), Kleckner and the crew center the voices most marginalized by mainstream coverage. Queer, Black, indigenous, and working-class perspectives are featured prominently alongside major figures of the women’s rights movement, such as Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, and Bella Abzug, as well as the era’s counter cultural milieu. Almost entirely forgotten and never screened in a traditional context, this rare document belongs in the canon of great works of media activism and, somewhat painfully, is as radical today as it was in 1972.
