CHRONICLING AND CREATING: HOME MOVIES & HOBBYIST FILMMAKING
October 20 – October 22
THE AL LARVICK FUND PRESENTS
CHRONICLING AND CREATING: HOME MOVIES & HOBBYIST FILMMAKING
A series of three programs depicting the life and interests of home movie and amateur makers. These collections from the Al Larvick Fund explore modes of registering events and interpreting stories that are both personal and broad, with narrations and scores by their collection holders and historians. Imbuing moments of yesterday within a contemporary context, the films in Chronicling and Creating present to viewers an opportunity to contemplate how we remember our private and collective past. Additionally, these works inspire links between history and the present, as well as how their creators’ decisions influence our interpretation of both.
The mission of the Al Larvick Conservation Fund is to preserve historical and cultural heritage through conservation, education, and the public accessibility of American analog home movie, amateur cinema, and community recording collections.
Program curated and edited by Dwight Swanson and Kirsten Larvick. Sound mix by Christina Smith. Music by Matt Pond, Chris Hansen, and George Ingmire.
