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.

FORMAT: DCP Chaperone, Sam Max, 2021, 16 Minutes, Voyeur, USA An unnamed figure picks up a young man in his car. As the two drive together, and settle into an austere rental house in the country, the details of their arrangement become guttingly clear. FORMAT: DCP 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.

But while Wolfie appears to be alone, he is unaware of a foreboding presence, surveilling him at all times. FORMAT: DCP
