'Cozy Cuddly, Armed and Dangerous': Collaborative Filmmaking with the George Jackson Brigade

June 3rd, 2022 @ 3:30pm PST
https://seattleu.zoom.us/j/6498489179


In this presentation, Dr. Johnston will screen footage from his collaborative work-in-progress film, Cozy Cuddly, Armed and Dangerous, about the Seattle-based Left wing "Urban Guerilla" group known as the George Jackson Brigade. While illuminating the genesis of the group in the post-Attica Prisoner’s Rights movement and chronicling its activities during its mid-1970s heyday, the film is grounded in a depiction of the contemporary lives of three surviving Brigade members, representing the collaborative process and intimate relationships that constitute the act of creation. In addition to the screening, Dr. Johnston will reflect on a turn in his approach to documentary creation with this project, towards a practice based in established long-term relationships with collaborators, cultivated through acts of mutual care that transcend the production process.

Alex Johnston is a documentarian, media maker, and scholar, based in Seattle, Washington. His research and creative work examines the politics and aesthetics of documentary and non-fiction media, with a focus on projects and processes that engage with abolitionist theories and practices. His work has screened at a wide range of venues, including the Berlinale, AFI, Indie Lisboa, London Short Film Festival, Camden International Film Festival, and the Miners' Colfax Medical Center, a convalescent home for hard rock and coal miners in rural New Mexico. He is an editor of the radical online media journal NOW! A Journal of Urgent Praxis, (NOW-Journal.com) and is an assistant professor of film at Seattle University.
