Inspired by the outdoor optical and sensorial pleasures of the Barbizon school of French painting, Twink Time at Barbizon is a Super 8mm experimental work reimagining public parks as sites where people who are historically and presently unsafe in public can imagine ourselves/themselves as free to harmlessly and openly gaze with each other, maybe even cruise each other as fems, as lesbians, as dykes, as bisexuals, as people of color, and as non-normative gender explorers. The film's visual and audible dimensions enliven an an embodied sensory presence and the joyous magnetisms of chance.
Featuring an original score composed in France, a collaboration among Eve Beglarian (piano), John Bingham-Hall (soprano saxophone), and Lucas Papenfusscline (voice).
