8mm Experimental Cinema is a unique program composed of eight short films that exhibit a wide variety of contemporary 8mm practices. The contributing artists use a number of different methods to explore the small format's materialistic and imaginative latitude. This includes direct filmmaking, organic decay, impressionistic shooting methods, and other modes of formal experimentation. The presentation will consist of digital and super 8mm projections.
Lynne Sachs, Lorenzo Gattorna and Erica Sheu will be present for a brief Q&A following the screening.
Join Chris H Lynn for a night of digital moving images and live super 8 films that explore visual and aural spaces in urban and rural landscapes.
Films in the program include:
*Scenes from 10 walks: an audiovisual journey of walks that span over a year. Each walk was shot in a different location and month.
*New films from the Journal of Drifting Hours series: Drifting moments, lyrical passages, memory impulses, landscape studies and visual notations captured on super 8 film.
