Found footage filmmaking is a practice involving reappropriating and remixing previously shot or created materials for new, innovative purposes. Filmmakers working in this tradition utilize many different methods of transforming moving images—from physically manipulating motion-picture film to juxtaposing disparate content through clever editing to glitching digital video and video game software—to critically examine its original meaning, context, and cultural significance.

Diorama Room Arts presents Tune in to Green – Minor Chord II, our annual autumn show, which features experimental sound and short films, under five minutes, that fit the somber mood of the season. Using animation, 16mm film, video with and without effects, the artists featured in the show speak to the human relationship with nature poetically and philosophically. Themes such as death, grief, strange creatures, and Dia de los Muertos are touched upon.
