- Big Miss Moviola and Miranda July on Dumba calendar of events. Xerox flier, 1997. Designed by Kelly Besser. Collection of Astria Suparak. Sept. 20, 1997. 57 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY.
Text from flyer: BIG MISS MOVIOLA: A Conspiracy put into ACTION. A nite of lady-made videos and multimedia interactivity with Miranda July.
As Astria Suparak recalls: “The first BMM/J4J screening I went to was at Dumba in Brooklyn, and the movie made on the spot by attendees was such an unexpected way to incorporate the audience into what they were seeing on the screen, to turn passive watchers into active makers, and a great way to build excitement throughout the evening. The prompt was something like, ‘Nobody knows that I can…’, and anyone could privately videotape themselves responding to it in a separate space from the screening room.”
