In this collection of recent work by North Carolina-based media artists Sabine
Gruffat and Bill Brown, celluloid film serves as both a material register and
critical resource for interrogating the documentary image. Whether using
discontinuous montage, handmade techniques for creating and processing images,
or dramatic reenactors, these films aim to extend the formal possibilities of
non-fiction filmmaking.
We are very excited to have both filmmakers appearing in person!
Bill Brown is a Chapel Hill, NC-based filmmaker, photographer, and author who
has been active for over 20 years, creating innovative and challenging video
and multimedia works that explore the relationships between geographical space,
memory, technology, and humanity. His films include Roswell (1995), Buffalo
Common (2001), and Chicago Corner (2009), as well as collaborations with Sabine
Gruffat. His interest in the life of art beyond its production has led to
several film tours.
Sabine Gruffat is a Chapel Hill, NC-based filmmaker and multimedia artist whose
exploratory, thought-provoking films have screened at festivals worldwide. Her
projects span video and animation, mobile media and performance, interactive
installation, and more, the main commonality being an urgent sense of
contemporaneity and playfulness of form, with works that include The
Expeditionists (2007), The Free Translators (2008), and I Have Always Been a
Dreamer (2012). Like Brown, Gruffat takes a special interest in the exhibition
of her works, and has collaborated with Brown for several exhibitions. She is
currently an Assistant Professor of Art at the University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill.
SCREENING:
Take It Down (Gruffat, 2018, 12:30)
Employing solarized color positive 35mm film and animation of old postcard
images of Confederate monuments in North Carolina, Take It Down documents how
Southern identity continues to be bound up in the legacy of the Civil War and
the Jim Crow Era. The film considers how these old memorials continue to be
sites of conflicting politics and historical narratives.
XCTRY (Brown, 2018, 6:18)
Brown re-works 16mm footage that he shot years ago during a cross-country road
trip from Chicago to Las Vegas. The spatial discontinuities of the road trip
are rendered as visual continuities across three frames as Brown goes in search
of the next town to fall in and out of love with.
Life On The Mississippi (Brown, 2018, 28:13)
A short essay film about a river and the limits of knowing it. Using Mark
Twain’s Life On The Mississippi as a road map, Brown travels from Memphis,
Tennessee to New Orleans and considers ways that river pilots, paddlers,
historical reenactors, and civil engineers attempt to know the river through
modeling, measurement, and simulation.
Framelines (Gruffat, 2017,10:14)
An abstract scratch film made by laser etching preset patterns onto the film
emulsion of negative and positive 35mm film. The strips of film were then
re-photographed on top of each other as photograms. The soundtrack is created
by filtering and layering the noise made by the laser etched 35mm optical track.
Amarillo Ramp (Brown + Gruffat, 2017, 24:10)
A portrait of sculptor Robert Smithson’s final earthwork. Employing filmmaking
strategies that are both responsive to the artwork’s environmental context and
informed by Smithson’s own art-making strategies, the filmmakers encounter the
Ramp as an observatory where human scales of space and time are set against
geological and cosmic scales.
