The American Cinematheque is excited to present a special Friday the 13th night of short films in collaboration with Voyeur, a queer collective of artists and tastemakers.

Voyeur engages experimental creative processes to create work tailored to contemporary consciousness, striving to illuminate the structures that shape human interaction while empowering audiences to transcend them.

Voyeur was founded in 2018 by Dulcinée DeGuere, Lío Mehiel, and Russell Kahn. Collectively, they have worked at CAA, Deutsch, Amazon Studios, the Bombay Beach Biennale, and have shown work at Sundance, Tribeca, Raindance, Palm Springs Shortfest, Newfest, Outfest, and countless others.

Suspension, Dulcinée DeGuere, 2021, 14 Minutes, Voyeur, USA

Alone in the desert, Wolfie flickers through memory and delusion as he wrestles with the guilt of his past mistakes. Consumed by isolation, he obsessively cares for a ghostly vision of Angel – the mother and lover he never had. But while Wolfie appears to be alone, he is unaware of a foreboding presence, surveilling him at all times.
