Lo Fi Landscapes: Pictures From The New World
Presented by Filmmakers Thomas Comerford and Bill Brown
A follow-up their 2002 Lo Fi Landscapes Tour, this exciting new program features
films about the space of history and the history of spaces. These films explore
how historical text becomes physical texture, and how filmmaking itself is
memory recovered from landscape's amnesia.
THE PROGRAM:
Mountain State
Bill Brown, color, 22min.
A brief history of the westward expansion of the United States as told by 25
roadside historical markers in the state of West Virginia. History is a ghost,
and every historical marker tells a ghost story.
Land Marked/Marquette
Thomas Comerford, b&w/color, 23min.
A series of four landscape films each examining a specific place in Chicago. The
films examine the monuments to Jacques Marquette, a highly-celebrated French
Jesuit missionary, and the relationship of the monuments to their surroundings.
Chicago Detroit Split
Thomas Comerford & Bill Brown, 10min.
Surveying their current cities-in-residence--Detroit and Chicago, this
work-in-progress finds the common ground of shared street names.
Q&A session will follow screening.
