check out the sweet cinematic stylings of Bill Brown and Thomas Comerford,
coming to a town near you:
Lo Fi Landscapes: Pictures From the New World
Bill Brown and Thomas Comerford film tour
Filmmakers Thomas Comerford and Bill Brown follow-up
their 2002 Lo Fi Landscapes Tour with a new program of
films about the space of history and the history of
spaces. These films explore how historical text
becomes physical texture, and how filmmaking itself is
memory recovered from landscape's amnesia. The
filmmakers will travel the Mississsippi Valley,
Southwest and West Coast with their 16mm films and a
projector in tow for 3 weeks of screenings.
The Program:
“Mountain State” by Bill Brown, 2003, 16mm sound,
color, 22 mins.
“Land Marked/Marquette” Series by Thomas Comerford,
2005, 16mm sound, b&w/color, 23 mins.
“Chicago Detroit Split,” by TC and BB, 2005, unslit
8mm, 10 mins.
Bill Brown has been making films and zines for over 10
years. He has received both Rockefeller and
Creative Capital grants, and in November 2003, the
Museum of Modern Art presented a retrospective of his
work.
Thomas Comerford is a media artist, musician and
educator who resides in Chicago. His work has screened at festivals and
venues
which include the Ann Arbor Film Festival, Anthology
Film Archives, San Francisco Cinematheque and the
London Film Festival.
