This free 2017 Whitman Summer Social event takes place at The Loft Cinema (3233 E Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85716) on Screen 1. 

Welcome To This House is iconic director Barbara Hammer’s feature documentary film on the homes and loves of poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979), about life in the shadows, and the anxiety of art making without full self-disclosure. Hammer filmed in Bishop’s ‘best loved homes’ in the US, Canada, and Brazil believing that buildings and landscapes bear cultural memories. Interviews with poets, friends, and scholars provide “missing documents” of numerous female lovers. Bishop’s intimate poetry is beautifully performed by Kathleen Chalfant and with the creative music composition by Joan La, Barbara brings Bishop into our lives with new facts and unexpected details. (Dir. by Barbara Hammer, 2015, USA, 79 mins, Not Rated)
