One of my older videos “How To Escape From the Stress Boxes” is screening at the Punto De Vista International Documentary Film Festival, as a part of a night of film and video curated by Ben Russel.
Info is here:
“There are two ways of approaching the work of a filmmaker: watching their films or watching the films that have led them to create such images –a sort of yellow-tiled path. Ben Russell, winner of the Punto de Vista Grand Award for Best Film 2010 for the amazing Let Each One Go Where He May and member of the Punto de Vista 2011 jury, retraces the steps along the yellow-tiled path that have led to his latest work by picking a series of short films whose echoes we can hear in his films. Faced with the dilemma of whether to explore Russell’s images or let him guide us down the road that brought him to them, we have chosen to go off the beaten path. A steeper, radical path taking us to the roots of Russell’s films: animals, distant countries, and an experimental anthropology that inform a way of filmmaking that is a passage to spiritual trance.”
It’s really good–maybe the best thing I have ever made?? Everything about it I like, which is a very very rare feeling. I remember really enjoying making it, sharing it as a zine and then again on the internet, and even now it still seems important to share it again!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy this blast from the past that still lives in the present.
2011 is starting off good so far!
I just got in the mail my copies of ”It was All A Blast” a little book project I did with Kelly Rakowski, AKA “Nothing Is New”: http://nothing-is-new.com/
I wrote some poems based on a bunch of images she found/collected at various online image archives! If I was more on the ball this would have been a great holiday gift!! You can buy it here: https://www.createspace.com/3499025
