KODAK SUPER 8 FILMMAKING CHALLENGE
Director(s): Max McSimov
Inspired by both the direct cinema of the late sixties and the field recordings of Alan Lomax, 50 Feet sets out to create original sessions of the songs of our day. The 50 feet refers to the one cartridge of super 8 film that the sessions are shot on. 50 feet of film equals about 3 minutes of record time. By introducing this restraint of time, the artist has to work within the confines of the film and is forced to recreate and adapt their song to the space that is shaped by the super 8 cartridge. Out of this space comes a more intimate and personal rendition of the song. We also believe that behind every good song is an even better story. In addition to shooting sessions, we are deeply interested in the personal narrative that surrounds the craft and shows us the beating heart behind the song. For more sessions visit www.50feet.org
