CURRENT PROJECT

SUITCASE OF LOVE AND SHAME (2013) Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship 2012-2013 and a Cultural Council Fellowship 2013, Gillooly is currently traveling with her recent project Suitcase of Love and Shame, a non- fiction work sourced from 60 hours of audiotape recorded in the 1960’s. Discovered in a suitcase purchased on eBay, the work repurposes historical material for use in time-based media collage. Part historical documentary and part experimental narrative the film reconstructs this rare audio example to critically examine a particular moment in the history of the United States. Awarded best international on screen work at IMAGES Festival, Toronto, other screenings include, Visions du Réel, FID Marseille, CPH:DOX, REDCAT Los Angeles, RIDM Montreal, with Premiers at Ann Arbor Film Festival and the ICA Boston. Upcoming New York Premiere The Art of the Real at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, April 2014.
