Summer Film Series: Experimental Travelogues part 2

Thursday, July 26, at 8pm

Click here for details about part one of this two-part travelogue series.

Part two of Experimental Travelogues will begin with Travel Notes, a rare film by noted photographer Walker Evans (provided courtesy of Unseen Cinema: Early American Avant-Garde Film: 1893-1941, a collaborative film preservation project between Anthology Film Archives, New York and Deutsches Filmmuseum, Frankfurt am Main, and underwritten by Cineric, Inc.)

We’ll also watch Unsere Afrikareise, Peter Kubelka’s intense critique of imperialism, filmed in safari in Africa; Munich/Berlin Walking Trip, a rare non-animated short by Oskar Fischinger, featuring a single frame taken every mile on a trip between those two cities; Going to the Ocean by acclaimed contemporary Portland-based film-maker Matt McCormick; Footnotes to a House of Love by Los Angeles-based Basque film-maker Laida Lertxundi; and Georgetown Loop by Ken Jacobs, described as an “X-Rated Landscape Film.”

Wrapping up the series are two transcendently amusing travel videos by the inimitably wonderful George Kuchar: Arizona Byways and Glaciar Park Video Views.
