Spring 2023

Oversized and ambitious, MFJ 77 RIFTS maps a multitude of journeys that diverge, reform, and coalesce. A rift suggests a split, a breaking apart, but it also conjures up the idea of an interstice—a place between, a space of negotiation, and a site of re-imagination. It is perhaps here that we find the true impetus of artists’ moving image, not just in its resistance to tradition and convention but in its willingness to interrogate these spaces between. Throughout this issue, we find numerous articulations of in-between-ness in discussions of works that explore the relations between past and present, old and new, sound and image, fact and fiction, reality and fantasy.

Excerpted from Kim Knowles’ Introduction to Millennium Film Journal 77 RIFTS (Spring 2022)
