Jump/Cut: The Moving Body On Screen

A part of our 2025-26 pilot programs, Jump/Cut: The Moving Body on Screen returns Spring 2027, curated by Jay Kuehner!

This moving image showcase explores varieties of kinesthetic cinema in historical and contemporary contexts. These works gesture toward new forms—of choreography released from time and space by the camera, of cinema attuned to the exigencies of the body. 

Jay Kuehner is an independent film curator, writer, and educator based in the Pacific Northwest. He was curator of Veracity: New Documentary Cinema, a film series dedicated to creative non-fiction cinema from around the world, and Pulsos Latinos: Films From The Frontier of Latin American Cinema, both presented in Seattle at Northwest Film Forum. He has taught classes on the history of documentary practice  and evaluations of 21st century cinema. As a critic, his work has appeared in Cinema Scope, Senses of Cinema, Film Comment, IndieWire, Sight and Sound, Desist and more. He is currently co-curator, with David Dinnell, of On Site Moving Image at Mini Mart City Park, and TAM Cinema at Tacoma Art Museum.
