Transformation and Renewal
Programmed by
Kelsey White & L u m i a
The Flaherty is thrilled to announce its upcoming 2021 Fall Flaherty NYC,
Transformation and Renewal programmed by Kelsey White and L u m i a.
The series will run in early December in venues across New York City and online. Confirmed partners include Anthology Film Archives, Microscope Gallery, UnionDocs, and Maysles Documentary Center. This series of films highlights works by artists and visionaries who reimagine life and transform its representation, often in response to the many crises that mark their epochs.
Transformation and Renewal
“Be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind.” -Romans 12
From the warm flicker of the hand-cranked projector to the cool glow of a cracked iPhone screen, cinema remains in flux, and yet it continues to offer the viewer chances to encounter uniquely personal visions. These visions alter our perceptions of reality and strengthen our resistance to conformity and complacency. Is this cinema as sorcery? Voluntary derangement of the senses can lead to unexpected possibilities, and the recovery of presence reveals the joy of living shrouded in the loss that marks our time.
“None of us are going to move the earth one millimeter from its axis. But, if we do what we need to be doing, then we will leave something that continues beyond ourselves. That is survival.” - Audre Lorde

Kelsey White
Born in Los Angeles when Saturn and Uranus were conjunct with the Sun at the Ascendant, Kelsey White is currently a film projectionist living in Brooklyn, New York. Though much of her time is given towards showing films to the cinephiles in New York City, she continues to pursue a polyphonic set of creative interests, including writing, music-making, and filming. She is a new mother who likes to observe the changing seasons and listen to small talk on street corners, and she attempts to practice non-judgment towards all beings, remaining open to the unknown, while carefully paying attention to the complexity, the irony and pain, as well as the beauty of existence.
