Exciterbulb is the Screen Studies program's ongoing avant-garde film series. Past themes for Exciterbulb programming have included queer cinema pioneers (the Kuchar brothers, Kenneth Anger, Jack Smith, Cheryl Dunye, Marlon Riggs) and French Modernism of the '20s and '30s (Jean Cocteau, Germaine Dulac, Jean Vigo). When possible, we attempt to program 16mm prints to be screened, and have also hosted filmmakers to speak about their work.

Like Kahlil Joseph, Everson has been recognized as one of the significant experimental filmmakers of the contemporary moment, and his work is dedicated to the aesthetic examination of Black lives. This program will feature a selected program of shorts from Everson’s filmography.
