Jessica Sarah Rinland’s Collective Monologue
As a master’s graduate of MIT and recent Film Study Center Fellow, Argentine-British artist Jessica Sarah Rinland (b. 1986) is no stranger to this area’s arts and film community. She visited the Harvard Film Archive last year with her meditation on museum conservation Those That, at a Distance, Resemble Another (2019) and returns this season with her latest captivating exploration, Collective Monologue, filmed in Buenos Aires’ Jardín Zoológico. Screening before her documentary, Howard Hawks’ African safari adventure Hatari! is in intriguing conversation with the ecological content of Rinland’s film.
