Location: Rubenstein Arts Center Film Theater
Still:Moving
A program of and about silent film by experimental filmmaker and curator Tom Whiteside. Before the development of what we understand to be basic film language in the mid 1910’s, some films did tell stories but most simply put the world on display in an unprecedented variety of ways, radically changing forever our perception of time. Exploring the relationship between the still image and the moving image, this program includes the quaint documentary The Birth of the Motion Picture Camera (1947, d. Roger Leenhardt) as well as films by Duchamp, Durand, Guy, Lumière, Méliès, Painlevé, Porter, and Zecca. Presented in 16mm and video.
