Filmmaker in attendance!
We are thrilled to present, in person, the Finland-based experimental filmmaker, installation artist, curator, and educator Sami van Ingen!
In his work, Sami distills meaning from fleeting moments of footage -- be it home movies, travelogue scenes, mainstream blockbusters, or archival discoveries -- by physically deconstructing, manipulating and rephotographing the film strip. A passionate proponent of analog film, he is also interested in the ways digital technology can add new qualities to experimental filmmaking. He has recently published a book on the subject, Moving Shadows: Experimental Film Practices in a Landscape of Change (2012). Together with filmmaker Mika Taanila, Sami co-curates the new Helsinki-based screening series, Pakopiste (Vanishing Point).
