Screening - untitled documentary by Osheen Keshishian / Music by Francis-Garrett-Purdy-Scheible

On Monday, August 24, 2026, Rhizome DC presents the first public screening of an untitled documentary by filmmaker Osheen Keshishian. The film, shot on 16mm, documents a 2025 improvisational music session held at Rhizome, during which Keshishian invited four local improvisers to set up and play specifically for the camera. Following the screening, the musicians themselves take the stage for a live performance, bridging the documented session and a present-day reprise of the collaboration.

The evening is part of Rhizome's ongoing film and music programming, tagged for its intersection of experimental moving image and live sound. The screening is scheduled for a single evening, with doors opening an hour before the program begins, and admission is offered on a sliding scale.
