Retrospective: Colgate University Edition
September 16, 2008
Hamilton Village, NY
TIE Curator, Christopher May, in-person.
Blocking
(Pablo Marin, 2005, 35mm, silent, 2min., 24fps, Argentina)
Blocking is a presentation of
TIE's Imágenes del fin del mundo program. The film was
kept under water until its emulsion started to melt, then removed,
tightened up and finally dried directly by the sun.
Way
to Shadow Garden
(Stan Brakhage, 1954, 16mm, sound, 10min., USA) A wild study of
a tortured youth with astonishing moments of brilliance.
A
Fall Trip Home
(Nathaniel Dorsky, 1964, 16mm, sound, 11min., USA) A sad sweet
song of youth and death, of boyhood and manhood.
The
Crossing
(Timoleon Wilkins, 2007, 16mm, silent, 6min, 20fps, USA) A cinematic
analogue to the uncertain sense of scale that permeates life-changing
geographic and spiritual crossings.
Meridian
Days
(Trevor Fife, 2003, 16mm, sound, 12min, 24fps, USA) Meridian Days
is a navigational term that refers to the phenomenon of temporally
losing or gaining a day when you cross the international dateline.

And
We All Shine On
(Michael Robinson, 16mm, sound, 7min, 24fps, USA) A machine-eyed
vision of a post-apocalyptic paradise.
Transaension
(Dan Baker, 16mm, sound, 6.5min, 24fps, USA) Heartbeat.
Out of a sick morass of reds and yellows, blacks, burns,
and direct-to-film scratches arises the (post) post-industrial
terror of our collective oil-stained subconscious.
Metaphysical
Education
(Thad Povey, 2003, 16mm, sound, 4min, 24fps, USA) Gravity
and the desire to fly battle for a boy’s soul.
Shudder
(top and bottom)
(Michael Gitlin, 2001, 16mm, sound, 3min, 24fps, USA) A
throbbing world of lonely danger.
Vom
Innen; von Aussen
(Albert Sackl, 2006, 16mm, silent, 20min, 24fps, Austria)
A meditation that encompasses our notions about our bodies
and the rules that govern it, both environmental and self-imposed.
