But as they hurtle through the stars towards Mars their fragile, burgeoning love is tested by isolation, the memory of what was left behind, and the knowledge that there may be someone (or something) else out there with them. A darkly funny, tender, and time-bending exploration of intimacy, identity and what survives when you're light-years from everything you thought you knew. 📍Brooklyn Art Haus, 20-26 Marcy Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11211 ⏰ Wednesday, August 13, 2025 | 7:30 p.m. EDT Tickets are $18, if you need assistance with cost email jayehunt@gmail.com Get Tickets to THE BRIAN WILSON SPACE EXPERIMENT

KILLING TIME/FANNIE'S FILM Directed by Fronza Woods  US | 1979/1981 | 15 minutes | B/W Fronza Woods made these two pioneering, short films in 1979 and 1981. Part of the mediamaking movement that first gave centrality to the voices and experiences of African American women during the late seventies and early eighties, they are no less groundbreaking today. Recently restored by the Academy Film Archive, these films have screened at the Whitney Museum of Art, the Institute of Contemporary Arts - London, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and more. They are more than worthy of being listed on the National Film Registry -- help us nominate them today!    "Killing Time, from 1979, is very simply, one of the best short films that I've ever seen. " - Richard Brody   Learn more Nominate now IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN Directed by Frances Reid, Elizabeth Stevens and Cathy Zheutlin US | 1977 | 53 Mins | Color Newly restored by the UCLA Film & Television Archive with support from the Women's Preservation Fund, IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILDREN is a pioneering 1977 documentary "about who lesbian mothers and their children really are." Directed by Frances Reid, Elizabeth Stevens, and Cathy Zheutlin, the film profiles eight diverse families across race and class, offering an intimate and loving portrait of lesbian motherhood at a time when many faced intense legal and cultural battles for custody. Originally created to support lesbian mothers in court, the film screened widely at festivals and feminist venues and became a landmark in queer cinema. Today, it remains a vital and deeply human document of LGBTQ+ history. Please help us nominate this WMM classic today!    "The film shows people how these relationships come across, the reality of the relationships between these eight woman and their fifteen children." -  Iris Films, Jump Cut interview Learn more Nominate now
