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.
