Poster for Painting with Light

1974 · ★ 0.0 (0)

Painting with Light consists of images produced by moving light. Techniques include re-filming slides in an animation fashion. Original slides are time-exposure images of color-filtered light. The experiment questions whether light can be controlled in a manner similar to that of the painter-artist. The use of an optical printed allows some manipulation or extension of certain scenes. Also, unmasked negative printing is intercut to strengthen the "painting" effect.

Poster for Tri-Alogue #4

2020 · ★ 10.0 (1)

A subtle movement of dancer’s arms invites three panels of film into one frame in this micro-symphony of sound and image in which the changing light evokes the passing of time. Human and non-human, interior and exterior co-exist in this highly improvisational yet serendipitous portrait of the forever-changing city of Seattle. Collaborating to subdivide a 16mm film frame into thirds, Caryn Cline, Linda Fenstermaker and Reed O’Beirne present their separately shot segments simultaneously within one spatial plane. From the interplay of these three points of view emerges a cinematic conversation based on a horizontal compositional logic within the shared frame. This combined connotative relationship between the subframes evokes a spectacle of fractured spatial and temporal perspective.

Poster for We Entered Through the Chimeline

2019 · ★ 0.0 (0)

"We Entered Through the Chimeline" explores folklore, using its strangeness to construct fictions and speculative futures that offer points of resistance to our present. The film focuses upon Ruth L. Tongue who was a folklorist and a self-proclaimed ‘chime child’. In her position as a chime child Ruth believed that she had the magical ability to collect songs that no one else could, leading many folklorists to read her work as fictional. The film draws from these unreliable narratives and amplifies their affective qualities to create new and wonky fictions that unfold throughout the film. The work is filmed on 16mm film and utilises film’s alchemical qualities. Light flares become moments of transformation that support the magical acts within the narrative.
