HANDMADE: an evening of cameraless films
Curated by Greg Zinman

Film without the photography. Spanning over 80 years of avant-garde production, HANDMADE is a celebration of alternative moviemaking practices, focusing on beautiful and disturbing cameraless films. The images seen onscreen result from filmmakers painting, drawing, and scratching directly onto celluloid, one frame at a time. Other handmade methods include manipulating already existing footage via chemical processes and natural decomposition. The program will include examples of paint-on-film by Stan Brakhage, Len Lye, and Bårbel Neubauer, direct animations by Mary Ellen Bute, Ted Nemeth, Norman McLaren and Richard Reeves, treated found footage experiments by Jürgen Reble and Naomi Uman, and decayed cinema by Bill Morrison.
