8mm Films of Ellen Gaine and Phil Weisman
Both artists will be present
Gaine: No. 3 (1980), 28 min., Great Neck (1978), 15 min., both super-8 silent.

Gaine, from Boston, and Weisman, from New York City, are both filmmakers who have embraced the intimate, lyrical potentialities of the small 8mm formats. Each draws material from their daily life to create a visual aesthetic purely their own. Weisman was co-founder of the Collective for Living Cinema in NYC; Gaine continues to work and still photography as well as super-8.
