Monday, March 5

MUS 175, 11am – 12:50pm
Camera obscura aficionados may be interested in Minyong Jang's film The Dark Room which will be screened in Film 201 on Monday at 11am, in MUS 175, as part of a program on projection and unsettled screens.

For The Dark Room (16mm, 4 min, color/silent, 2001), Minyong Jang filmed inside the camera obscura at San Francisco's Cliff House, where the surroundings (seaside cliffs, ocean) are projected, via a rotating lens, into a parabolic screen parked in the center of the room. Viewers look down into this bowl of imagery.

Also screening is Alexi Manis Luminous (16mm, 3.5 min., color/sound, 2001) wherein filmmaker and projectionist Manis explores the light and imagery that haunts a projection booth during the projecting of a film.

Brent C's two monitor installation from 2005 -- "night flight: transmissions" -- will also be getting an encore presentation.
