Stand in the Stream is an ambient digital film shot on multiple camera formats over the course of six years. Following the arc of an activist/worker’s deterioration and death amidst shifting political and digital landscapes, the film moves through the home, the wild, online chat rooms and the streets with Vertovian intensity. Using no found footage but only that shot by Kahn or screen-recorded by Kahn in real time, Stand in the Stream brings live witness to our screen-saturated perspectives, begging accountability, acknowledging participation. The film’s core conceptual framework—that resistance and resilience bloom despite the inextricable flows of socio-political power and capitalism’s acculturation in our very personhood—structures Kahn’s massive collection of footage, edited with high speed precision and driven by a dense and visceral sound-score.

Hammer seeks a point of quiet from which all else transiently moves.

Inspired by Warhol's 1967 Nude Restaurant, Donegan performs Viva's monologue from the film. She writes, "...I cast myself as Viva and my nine-year-old son as Taylor Mead—Beauty and the Beast reversed. Vintage headphones and a Nintendo DS keep us in our zones. The more I talked—trivial, breathless, at a breakneck pace—the more it reminded me of me getting on my own nerves. The relentless voice hooked up to a nervous system of images, everyday jolts. It's just Mom in the kitchen, serving up a hot dish of cool leftovers."
This collaborative work, featuring the late actor Ron Vawter, was created specifically for the 1992 Day Without Art/AIDS Awareness Day. Here Thornton addresses what she terms "the relationship between the medicalization of the body and the personal."
Made in collaboration with Margie Strosser, Strange Weather is a fascinating and unnerving view of drug addiction that fundamentally questions truth and representation. Ahwesh writes: "Strange Weather expands the job of the viewer, looking, but with an insecurity about what is being seen."
