Baylis Glascock
WE HAVE NO ART
1967, 26 min, 16mm-to-digital
Glascock, a former student of Corita, presents an extraordinary view of her life as a teacher at Immaculate Heart College, where she taught from 1947 to 1968. Featuring rare footage of Corita with her students – engaged in everything from composing the iconic Ten Rules to taking “viewfinder” field trips to the tire store – this short film provides insight into her unique approach to teaching and art.
Thomas Conrad
ALLELUIA
1967, 23 min, 16mm-to-digital
Conrad, another former student of Corita, subtitled ALLELUIA, “Being a true account of the life and times of Sister Mary Corita, IHM.” Accompanied by the artist’s narration, the film offers a rare glimpse into Corita’s serigraphy studio and artmaking process.
