Aarin Burch
Documentary, Experimental : 6’ / Lesbian, Bodies, Women, BIPOC

 “There’s always been a woman that’s an object of my desire,” opens Aarin Burch’s autobiographical short. Spinning through a stream of consciousness voiceover, Burch reflects on her creative process, romantic desires, fears, and sexuality. With “Spin Cycle,” Burch’s mirror to herself opens up a new cinematic language for Black queerness to the world. We will be presenting the newly restored copy in 4K.

For more than three decades, Aarin Burch has woven together film, dance, martial arts, and empowerment-based teaching into practices of expression, connection, and resilience.
