  • Still On About Keith Cole

    Inspired by The Cockettes, musical art star darlings KIDS ON TV have never looked and sounded so good. A music video where the KIDS are the kids, the mother a gift-bearing fairy wood nymph and the father a high-heeled, nosey prude. Modern-day family values brought to life by director and subject Keith Cole, “Still On About Keith Cole” is a hippy, trippy homage to our queer past.

  • Straight Lines

    A black-and-white collage in motion. Shadowy projections and solids layered.

  • Coda

    A coda to “Armoire,” in which the bird loops again with unmasked mirror apprehended by a camera in flight.

  • Divine Mannequin

    “‘Divine Mannequin’ combines the media qualities of video and film with the graphic quality of an animated charcoal line drawing. The images – a subjective point of view of a runner, looped images of buildings and spheres, and a high angle close-up of a man’s face – are placed in a matte frame within a film frame. Rimmer’s film also underlines the human experience with the soothing rhythms and sounds of the runners’ stride, pace and breathing. The spectator is swept along with the aesthetic of everyday movement.” – Maria Insell

  • It Only Hurts When I Cry

    A queer re-imagining of the classic “Beach Blanket Bingo,” set to a rousing musical number by Donna Loren.

  • Reason Why, The

    In “The Reason Why”, the subjects of growing up queer, fat and lonely are recounted in rebuttal letters to ex-boyfriends who share the same name. Using pornography, television and gay movies, the film explores how to find one’s place while being a minority in a minority community, and how to say all of the things that were never said in significant relationships.

  • Borders

    “Borders” is an intimate exploration of the bodies belonging to six queer individuals. This animation, made up of hundreds of high-resolution photographs, unabashedly examines the evidence of physical change and transformation: top surgery scars, tattoos, and other traces. The bodies are fragmented, as are the stories affiliated with these traces, and identities remain delightfully elusive. “Borders” is available as a single-channel work or as an extended installation.

  • For the Lucky and the Strong

    “For the Lucky and the Strong” synchronizes appropriated YouTube clips from nine young women to create a united chorus singing Bette Midler’s “The Rose.” Evoking a stalker-like quality by design, “For the Lucky and the Strong” makes the viewer complicit as voyeur, along with the masses who fixate on vulnerable young girls. The women stare into their webcams, some self-consciously, in an act of performative bravery and dramatic teenage angst, but they cannot hold the gaze and look away.
