The Brattle Theatre and RPM Festival are proud to announce a screening of 16mm films by experimental filmmaker Josh Weissbach on April 19th at 2:00 PM.

Josh’s cinematic practice explores the relationship between the intimate and the uncanny within domestic spaces, investigating the visual agency of the (un)built form and its connection to familial trauma. His work also examines natural spaces and the transfer of force within matter.

A graduate of the MFA Filmmaking program at UMW and a frequent contributor to the RPM Festival, Josh has had his work featured in the festival three times over the last decade. His films have been screened worldwide at prestigious venues including the Ann Arbor Film Festival, the Museum of the Moving Image, and the European Media Art Festival. His numerous accolades include jury prizes from Montreal Underground and Onion City, as well as grants from the LEF Foundation and the Connecticut Office of the Arts.
