Description
Russian premiere
Hundreds of filters and assets used by online content creators for “shot on film” aesthetics are collaged together on expired 16mm Ektachrome. Digital approximations of film artifacts, ranging from industrial to experimental, move through the frame in impossible trajectories. A film about film signified.
About the director:
Christine Lucy Latimer
Lens- and time-based media artist from Toronto/Tkaronto, on Treaty 13. Latimer’s work excavates the influence of capitalism and planned obsolescence on 20th-century moving image technologies. Repairing and resuscitating discarded film and tape elements in hybrid gestures, she orchestrates freak anachronistic dialogues between the photochemical, photoelectric, and digital. Her works have been featured in hundreds of film festivals and gallery exhibitions across five continents. Latimer participated twice in the In Silico section of the Message to Man Film Festival: in 2020 with House Pieces and in 2021 with Tender.
