Film Diary NYC and Baxter St. are pleased to present Home as it Should Have Been, a backyard film screening featuring nine films by contemporary image-makers pushing the boundaries of autobiographical filmmaking.

Please join us on July 25th at 6 PM for a closing conversation between 2023 Baxter St Guest Curatorial Open Call Recipients Ezra Benus and Kevin Quiles Bonilla on the occasion of Quiles Bonilla’s solo-exhibition, A Small Patch of Sand, Yet it Holds so Much.

Join Kevin Quiles Bonilla, Keishla Quiles Bonilla, Stephanie Alvarado, Noah Benus, and Ezra Benus for short presentations of their practices and a conversation that delves into the specificity, challenges, and joys of working with family and family archives.

Seeing is a friendship-building workshop that invites people to draw each other and turn those drawings into collaborative cyanotypes.
