Bernhard Roddy holds an MFA in Media Study from the University of Buffalo
and a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Rochester. He teaches courses
in philosophy, media and the arts and likes to combine materials in an
interdisciplinary practice that is both visual and activist.

Roddy¹s films and videos have been screened at the New York Underground Film
Festival, Ann Arbor Film Festival, Anima Mundi, the Black Maria Film
Festival, Cinematexas, and many other venues.

Roddy will show a selection of his work, including Truth, Relativism, Time &
Object, Dire Mastery and Death of a Maniac.

Truth (1998), Relativism (1999), and Time & Object (2001) are 16mm animated
films which convey contemporary philosophical problems through visual and
temporal change. Dire Mastery (2003) is a dramatic film appropriating video
techniques that are used when video supports psychotherapy during individual
treatment.

Death of a Maniac (2006, premiering here at Squeaky Wheel!) is an
experimental documentary about Roddy¹s father and his responsibility for a
family crisis lasting about ten years during Roddy¹s early childhood.

Roddy will be available to discuss his work and answer questions after the
screening.
