Film Will Eat Itself
Fractured melodramas, generational degradation, archive fragments and home brewed emulsion, film materials become the narrative in this programme
Politics of Perception Kirk Tougas 33 mins,1973, CAN, 16mm to digital
“Dead sure, or dead!” A one-minute promotional film for The Mechanic (1972 Hollywood film). Is reprinted time after time as the image and sound slowly disintegrate with each new cycle, until the visual and sound information have completely evolved to white light and white noise
Liquidator Karel Doing 8mins, 2010 ,NL ,35mm
Innovative use of existing dilapidated archive images from Willy Mullens silent 1922 film ‘Harlem’ (1922)
Konrad & Kurfurst Esther Urlus 7mins, 2013, NL , 16mm
Made using tinted and toned home brew black and white emulsion. A beautiful fragile film surface into which the image is embedded.
Flame Sami Van Ingen 15mins, 2018, FIN, dcp
A fractured melodrama, based on damaged frames from the last minutes of the only remaining nitrate reel of the lost film from Teuvo Tulio ( Silja – Fallen Asleep When Young 1937 )
