On Saturday, Squeaky Wheel will be hosting a force of nature in Milwaukee-based filmmaker Sky Hopinka, whose short, poetic works thave garnered effusive praise. The New Yorker has called “staggeringly beautiful” while Art Forum has said of his digital films, “wellsprings of beauty and mystery, filled with surprising confluences of speech and song, color and motion.” A member of the Ho-Chunk nation, Hopinka will be screening five titles, including a work-in-progress called Dislocation Blues (~18min), which the artist describes as “an incomplete and imperfect portrait of reflections from Standing Rock”—where he travelled to multiple times over the past year. With work both timely and timeless, Hopinka’s visit to Buffalo promises to be worth your time.
