DESCRIPTION:Berlin filmmaker Gamma Bak will be on hand for an intimate screening of her 
 documentary Head Cold (2010 Berlinale premiere) at 8pm, Friday, March 11, 
 2011 at Artists’ Television Acess, 992 Valencia Street in San Francisco.  
 Through exposing video diaries which began prior to, and continued after, 
 her diagnosis with psychosis in the 90s, Bak offers us a rarely seen 
 glimpse into her own crisis, treatment and life with psychotic breakdowns, 
 infused with interviews and video letters from friends – and, a separated 
 Jewish Hungarian family who became refugees in Germany and Canada.  Bak’s 
 historical perspective as part of the Eastern/Central European diaspora is 
 compounded by her living in West Berlin while commuting to East Berlin to 
 be with her boyfriend, and echoes her own search for home and identity in a 
 world of conflicting and contrasting realities.  The film is a direct 
 testimony of emancipation from the stigma of being schizophrenic. The 
 screening of Head Cold will be followed by a discussion with filmmaker 
 Gamma Bak and artist and activist Jacks McNamara of the Icarus Project.  
 Jacks was recently featured in Bay Area Filmmaker Ken Paul Rosenthal’s 
 poetic documentary Crooked Beauty.   $6- $10 donation at the door, ATA 
 (415)824-3890.\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2011/02/07/18671520.php
