Cecile Fontaine: Correspondance, A Color Movie, and others, 16mm & super 8mm — “Using direct animation techniques, Fontaine creates moving abstract paintings with occasional recognizable images surfacing free from their usual connotations.” — C.A.
Genevieve Bosshard: Reader, 16mm — “A ‘true love-story’. It explores the development of love from infatuation to convenience.” — C.A.
Cindy Greenhalgh: Plastic Primer, Now Everything Is Better, and Graditude, 16mm — “Well-known for her aggressive manipulation of film’s plastic qualities, these works explore the alignment/misalignment of image and thought.” — C.A
Gregg Paxton: Short Sketches, super-8mm — “Paxton makes fleeting graphic meditations. Like sonnets, these films concentrate discrete moments in particular images.” — C.A.
Denise O’Malley: Jestering and Candle For Liza, 16mm — “Exquisite works which examine film’s ability to form relationships: subject and filmmaker, camera and object, characters within the film.” — C.A.
