Past Event Series Zero-Sum: Indelible Mark, ACE: Selections from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE’s Movie Archive: Direct-on-Film / Optical Printing
Mark Nugent’s Manual Labor (1987)
Indelible Mark, ACE: Selections from tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE’s Movie Archive: Direct-on-Film / Optical Printing is the 2nd of a series of public screenings of work by friends of the curator from around the world. The restriction of the work to that of friends is important for putting a personal slant on media use. The theme of the program appeals to low-budget filmmakers who prefer to work intimately with the specific qualities of the medium – in this case such things as direct manipulation of 16mm film stock & extensive rephotography.
