Found the storyboard for my film EPISODE

This is a storyboard that i had doodled years ago, planting my visual-narrative ideas onto scrap paper. This film that I made years ago was titled, EPISODE (and it had 2 versions, a narrative story version and an experimental version due to problems experienced = $$$). This film brought much grief into my life, both during its inception stage, and the later stage (i.e. most recently). The Imagination can spurn great envy from others who lack. It can attract cruel jealousy and wicked strikes against the purity of ones need to simply "make things"...One's need to simply Imagine things within our world differently.
But Imagination is also the “most scientific of the faculties”, says infamous art icon Baudelaire. By this seemingly paradoxical statement Baudelaire meant that the Imagination alone is, by its nature, capable of penetrating beneath the surface of appearances and detecting hidden analogies between material manifestations, different modes of perception, and different levels of existence.
The Imagination, in fact, is that capital faculty of the creative artist whereby he is enabled to see all in one synoptic glance (please look up the word synoptic in your home dictionary), and thus to order his work in such a way that the topical shall co-exist with the eternal, the natural with the supernatural and the moral with the metaphysical.

Nancy Holt's SUN TUNNELS (site/land art films)







Worth the viewing. VERY Gordon Matta Clark-ey (umm, loved that about it. Gordon RULES). Sun Tunnels is in many ways a masterpiece of Bolex cinema. Cautious cutting (i.e. editing). Blaring, unpredictable sunlight blarings. Excellent and raw "16mm 1970's" location study.
Columbia University is showcasing her work. She has inspired me to remain "interested" in experimental ways of site-location documentation with hints of narrative. She is clever in delivery of an outside voice by burning momentary texts that explain HER process going on. Her work seems very important for me. Not just for the power of the documents she recorded (building of concrete cylinders, breaking mud water barriers, etc... BUT FOR HER NEED TO MAKE STORIES OUT OF DIRT AND MUD. God bless her for that.
click on these links for a taste of what her work looks into:
Jane, What formats does she use? and how do you define her work?
Answer: She shot "Mono Lake" on Super 8mm and also she used an Instamatic 35mm still camera. Her films are based on outdoor sculpture site-specific studies of New Jersey & the American West visual landscapes.

European film screenings of "GIRLSTORIES" !

hi joey - thanks very much again for letting us screen "homewrecka" and "healing power of violence". those are 2 really great and intense pieces of work.
its really interesting how they effected the audience at westgermany (the venue in berlin). the audience seemed to enjoy both films but were also kinda disturbed. we played "homewrecka" first and many people watched the whole thing. but there is also a bar there so some folks wandered to get drinks. we played "healing power" later in the evening after 2 music groups had played. that film is quite intense and funny but also has the potential to freak people out. again, i find it interesting to screen these films in an experimental music situation. they become much more challenging than any of the music. incredible stuff. keep it flowing!
attached are some pics. lemme know if you'd like me to send the full size images....
best,
fritz, from SCOTLAND !
