tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368242662024-03-14T00:58:34.392-07:00LunchfilmI buy a filmmaker lunch and in trade they give me a short film made for the cost of the lunch. It started by accident – and necessity. In all, 50 short films have been commissioned (or eaten). Rules and ideas based on whatever we talked about at lunch are written on a napkin contract.
While each film has its own logic, it’s all about a variety of tastes. The overall metaphor is about community. It is very easy to help a filmmaker. Buy one lunch today. –Mike PlanteUnknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger92125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36824266.post-87024428286282996542014-08-10T12:57:00.000-07:002014-08-10T12:57:34.583-07:0089.14<br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: ariel, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Deborah Stratman is a Chicago-based artist and filmmaker interested in landscapes and systems. Her films, rather than telling stories, pose a series of problems – and through their at times ambiguous nature, allow for a complicated reading of the questions being asked. Much of her work points to the relationships between physical environments and the very human struggles for power and control that are played out on the land. Most recently, they have questioned elemental historical narratives about faith, freedom, sonic subterfuge, expansionism and the paranormal. Stratman works in multiple mediums, including sculpture, photography, drawing and audio. She has exhibited internationally at venues including the Whitney Biennial, MoMA NY, the Pompidou, Hammer Museum, Witte de With, Walker Art Center, Yerba Buena Center, and has done site-specific projects with the Center for Land Use Interpretation, Temporary Services, Mercer Union (Toronto), Blaffer Gallery (Houston), Klondike Institute of Art & Culture (Yukon) and Ballroom Gallery (Marfa). Stratman’s films have been featured at numerous international festivals including Sundance, the Viennale, Full Frame, Ann Arbor, Oberhausen and Rotterdam. She is the recipient of Fulbright and Guggenheim fellowships, a Creative Capital award, and she currently teaches at the University of Illinois at Chicago.</span><br />

eaten by Mark Borchardt.<br />
<br />
In 1980 at the age of fourteen, Mark Borchardt realized what he had to
do. He bought his first movie camera, a Super-8 that barley focused,
for forty dollars from a friend down the street. With this came a
horror movie titled The More The Scarier, Mark’s first film, which was
shot in his backyard and local cemetary. After this, Mark went on to
shoot five more shorts while erratically drinking and getting high.<br />
<br />
Borchardt was the subject of the acclaimed documentary by Chris Smith, AMERICAN MOVIE (1999) as Mark was finishing his short horror film COVEN. He continues to write and act and direct, recently appearing in Frankie Latina's super-8 spy film MODUS OPERANDI (2009). Mark is starting a new web series in 2014 called <a href="http://youtu.be/RU5n5vKlIXc" target="_blank">OUT AND ABOUT</a>.<br />

An artist by nature, not by stress of research. She puts scholars to
rout by solving through Nature's teaching problems that have fretted
their trained minds. Working in experimental and poetic documentary
forms, her iconoclastic work reflects an interest in place,
relationships between bodies and landscapes, and all sorts of
borders. She is a naturalist, born, not made : a true
barefoot, cinematic rabblerouser, of grand physique, calm pulse and a
magnetism that demands the most profound attention.<br />

Nowadays shorts programs are amazingly popular, a reflection less of chronic ADD than the dawning realization that no other night at the movies offers so much concentrated creativity.<br /><br />The newest entry among the myriad touring programs (Ann Arbor, Microcinema, The Animation Show, etc.) is CineVegas programmer Mike Plante's Lunchfilm: Film Before Food. Like so many marvelous ideas, it began as a fluke. A filmmaker pal was short of dough, so Plante picked up the bill. The other fellow offered the standard make-good -- he'd get the check next time -- but Plante had a brainstorm: Pay back the "debt" by making a film for the same cost. The concept soon turned into regular commissions, now topping 50, with the programmer scratching out terms and themes over a midday bite with the designated filmmaker.<br /><br />Shorts used to be viewed as the province of students and amateurs, the apprentices who weren't ready for prime time (that is, features). The Lunchfilm lineup boasts several mid-career experimental and nonfiction filmmakers, so I wasn't expecting half-baked dreck but a cascade of no-budget, handmade work akin to scrapbook art: low on materials and high on inspiration. There are a few pieces like that, notably Kelly Sears's mysterious, moody Jean, which revisits movie star Jean Seberg's dismal end through newspaper-style snippets of text laid over tarot illustrations.<br /><br /><br />But most of the films are so ambitious and accomplished that they defy any sense of constraints, financial or otherwise. The pick of the litter might be Braden King's intimate black-and-white Home Movie, co-written with and starring Mimi Visser as an exhausted, devoted Swedish mother who may be facing the loss of her young sons in a custody battle. Another highlight is local filmmaker Sam Green's wonderful and strangely moving Clear Glasses, which amplifies the connection he made with political activist-turned-fugitive-turned teacher Mark Rudd in the course of making his Oscar-nominated documentary The Weather Underground.<br /><br />Another S.F. icon, George Kuchar, contributes one of his deceptively complex video travelogues, The Celluloid Cavalcade, a seemingly random compilation that begins in Atlanta (where he was touted with a couple of shows at Emory University) and ends up flitting around more familiar environs from the S.F. Art Institute (or Art Asylum, as Kuchar refers to his teaching home in his hilariously deadpan narration) to the S.F. International Film Festival's opening night party to a show by one-time local Martha Colburn<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>at the New Nothing Cinema. Kuchar's charming, generous work may seem tossed off to the uninitiated, but there's an undercurrent of Hollywood sendup and monster-movie surrealism on the soundtrack that nudges his films into unexpected psychological territory.<br /><br />The aforementioned Martha Colburn is represented by a stunning piece of cut-out animation, Myth Wars, that conflates religion, drug addiction and colonial history into a dizzying diorama. A young filmmaker named Mike Gibisser turns in an artful split-screen, black-and-white vignette of his grandmother entitled Springtime Wound Motor, a reference to the spring-loaded camera he employed. And Bobcat Goldthwaite utilizes old home movies -- his? who knows -- of children to satirize DVD commentary tracks, child stardom and sibling rivalries.<br /><br />If it's not already clear, Lunchfilm: Film before Food draws on an incredible array of styles and genres, and (with only a couple of exceptions) is pure pleasure from start to finish. Jonathan Marlow of San Francisco Cinematheque saw the program at Sundance in January and asked Plante if a touring program was in the works; it turns out the two-and-a-quarter-hour S.F. show will be the first stop. Plante will be on hand, as well as Green and Kuchar, perhaps. Show some respect.<br /><br />Lunchfilm screens Sunday, March 22, 2009 at 7:30 p.m. at Yerba Buena Center For the Arts in San Francisco.
