Brain Drizzles

Super-8 Films by Martha Colburn & Danny Plotnick

San Francisco Art Institute





Tonight we welcome two high-energy low-budget super-8 filmmakers. Martha Colburn is a self-taught filmmaker and musician, who “lives in delightfully frightful Baltimore”. Martha collects films (“usually when someone’s throwing them away”) and has worked on over 4,000 individually collaged record covers. Her own films use collage and found footage. Danny Plotnick’s films “are a laff riot, smartly utilizing the gut-level immediacy and urgency inherent in the super-8 medium. Krisp, kinky color is the backdrop for razor sharp cynicism.” (D.P.) Danny, the Bay Area’s leading 8mm advocate, will show Go Go Willie, Pillow Talk and other films The first 15 people will get to shoot 20-second films that will be hand-processed during the show–bring a simple idea that can be shot in 2-3 minutes.
