Waiting for Beast /

“Waiting for Beast is at once a whimsical nod at the camp of queer porn and a political, intimate commentary on life. As a wheelchair punk my DIY, my freedom, is mutual aid. We work with what we got! During the making of this film, I was waiting for a new power chair, waiting for folks to meet me as they can, and in turn, people wait for me as I romp around and am pushed in my manual chair. This is wheelchair smut, and we have various ways of getting our chairs and our sexy selves where we need to go.” Lyric Seal

A Woman Waiting For Her Period / 1993

She delves into women's relation to men, to women, to their own body, to the menstrual cycle, historical national identity, gender identity and sexuality.

Joys of Waiting for the Broadway Bus #2 / 2013

"2013. USA. Directed by Ken Jacobs. With technical assistance by Nisi Jacobs. Part two of four. “Joys…began on the corner of Broadway and Spring but it was the next night waiting on Bleecker that it was understood a movie of sorts was underway, depicting a general waiting for the bus rather than one specific evening. Since acquiring a small 3-D camera I dawdle everywhere but prolonged bus-waits allow for a continuity of images, thus a movie. Computer-editing with Nisi Jacobs allowed further investigation, this time into digital 3-D itself.” In 3-D. 40 min." – The Museum of Modern Art

Joys of Waiting for the Broadway Bus #1 / 2013

"Waiting, waiting, for a bus to carry us a mile downtown. We often give up and walk. When we commit ourselves to waiting the bus usually appears with a second bus, empty, trailing by a block. We assume the drivers feel free to stop and gab between rounds; not nice, but then the job is impossible and it’s understandable they need a break, some social activity. There’s a couple of stops we wait at a lot, after visiting with friend Max or returning at night from Anthology Film Archives. Worse for Flo than for me; I photograph. I dawdle in the streets in any case, photographing a compulsion since getting a 3D camera. And night is a great time for time-exposures, for distortions in 3D." - Ken Jacobs

Joys of Waiting for the Broadway Bus #3 / 2013

"3D is rather a slighting way to speak of deep space. I enjoyed AVATAR and HUGO, though not much else among the movies I’ve seen in illusionary depth. They place things in depth but don’t go at depth as a realm to be investigated, toyed with; no mindbenders other than story. Cezanne, Cubism, never happened. This movie begins to play with possibility, with things only sometimes appearing real." - Ken Jacobs

Joys of Waiting for the Broadway Bus #4 / 2013

"Joys…began on the corner of Broadway and Spring but it was the next night waiting on Bleecker that it was understood a movie of sorts was underway, depicting a general waiting for the bus rather than one specific evening.

“Nares creates a tornado-like catastrophe with a hand-held super-8 camera, a shooting ratio of three to one (about $100 worth of film stock), and remarkable timing…fine filmmaking control is uses to suggest the terror of a world completely beyond personal control…Nares opens up the possibility of metaphor, evoking forces both terrifying and exhilarating.” Amy Taubin
