MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS!! (kind of)
guest curator: Karl Lind
Greetings! I guess this will be a “Terrific Time Based Tuesday” edition of “Marvelous Movie Mondays” because I totally spaced posting this yesterday, my apologies.
I first saw Peter Tscherkassky’s “Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine” at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2007. I had the good fortune of seeing it projected in it’s intended 70mm format and it was a life changing experience!
The piece deals with the eternal concepts of life/death/rebirth in conjunction with giving the viewer an opportunity to ponder Cinema as a living, breathing entity all of its own.
EPFC is delighted to welcome Margaret Rorison as our 2015 Summer Artist In Residence. Margaret will be with us for the month of August making work, teaching a 16mm workshop for local youth and presenting a night of her films in the EPFC microcinema… Come on by and say hi!
Margaret Rorison is a filmmaker and curator from Baltimore, Maryland. Her work often develops from extensive walks through rural and urban landscapes, combining memories, field recordings and text. She is interested in the potentials of storytelling through the use of 16mm projection and sound and often projects her films along other experimental sound artists. Her work has screened at The Ann Arbor Film Festival, CROSSROADS, Images Festival, Mono No Aware VI & VII, Sonic Circuits Festival and Microscope Gallery. She is the co-founder and director of the experimental film and workshop series, Sight Unseen and has been a member of The High Zero Foundation since 2011. She received her MFA in Photographic and Electronic Media from The Maryland Institute College of Art and holds a BA in Creative Writing and Spanish Languages and Literature from The University of Maryland College Park.
It’s that time again, cinefriends, when we welcome a new film/video artist to take us on a month-long cinematic journey on a theme of their choice in our weekly online-only screening series, MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS!! We are excited to hand the August curatorial reins over to……
