A ROLL FOR PETER
Like so many in our community, we're
devastated by Peter Hutton's death, and would like to join together in
commemorating his influence. Peter invited us to discover a new way of
looking; his films and his aesthetic ethos were suggestions and
inspirations.
Please consider joining us in a group
project that we think honors Peter's memory. Here's how it works: shoot a
100 foot roll of black and white 16mm reversal film, process it, and send the
entire (or a stand-alone portion of the) roll to us by October 1, 2016. We'll string them together with black leader
between the contributions, and screen them along with a couple of Peter's films
at a New York venue TBD.
Maybe you were his student, his colleague, a
friend, or a filmmaker who finds his work inspiring. Maybe you haven't shot
film for many years; maybe you've NEVER shot film.... this is your opportunity
to try something new. Photographing a single, silent roll (always the
building block for Peter's work) should allow us each to think about Peter and
his work in solitude, and then bring the results together in concert with our
community.
Share this if you'd like to.
Sincerely,
Jenn Reeves
& Mark Street
Please send your roll (100

A couple details:
Your film belongs to you
and will be returned after the screening(s).
If you would like to, you
can indicate with an X or a hole punch the first frame and last frame of your
film contribution. In that case we will cut where you have designated and
splice the head and tail of your contribution to the black leader that
separates the rolls.
If you have questions, our
emails are below.
