Like in a diary
Today...
I visited five different appartments.
I read a book at the entrance of an underground station, as if I was waiting someone for an appointment.
I wrote an email.
I was closer to read Sanguinetti.
I didn't see any paintings.
I thought and I listened something about Colorado.
I ordered something on ebay and then there was a crash.

owen land
Landow or Land constructs 'facades' of reality, often directly addressing the viewer using the language of television, advertising or educational films, and by featuring characters that are often the antithesis of those we might expect to see, such as podgy middle aged men and religious fanatics. He sometimes parodies experimental film itself, by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of theorists and scholars. Films like Remedial Reading Comprehension propose an alternative logic for a medium that has become over theorised and manipulated. His films contain numerous cross-references to the art and culture of our time, giving them a relevance and vitality beyond the hermetic avant-garde. Owen Land has exposed the material of cinema and deconstructed its process and effect, while covering the 'big topics' of religion, psychoanalysis, commerce and pandas making avant-garde movies.

È un archivio storico la cui missione è salvare le memorie filmiche private: le pellicole 9,5mm Pathé Baby, 16mm, 8mm e Super 8 girate principalmente in famiglia tra gli anni ’20 e ’80 del secolo scorso.
L’Archivio è la prima struttura italiana dedicata al recupero, alla conservazione e alla valorizzazione del cinema amatoriale, e l’unica organizzazione in Italia che svolge la sua attività di raccolta delle pellicole su tutto il territorio nazionale e garantisce la conservazione dei documenti audiovisivi originali in locali climatizzati.
L’Archivio, creato e gestito dall’Associazione Home Movies con il sostegno, la collaborazione e la tutela di istituzioni pubbliche e private, si rivolge ai possessori di pellicole amatoriali desiderosi di rivedere i propri film trasferiti in video digitale e di partecipare a un progetto culturale che ha ottenuto in questi anni numerosi riconoscimenti in Italia e all’estero.
Vedi in particolare le sezioni Archivio Film e Raccolta Film per le informazioni sulla struttura, le procedure e il funzionamento dell’Archivio e sulle modalità di partecipazione.

“Film Stills from the Sultan Family Home Movies.”
From Art Daily’s exhibit review:
The suburbs and their inhabitants have been a rich subject for photographers of the West, and included are Larry Sultan’s (American, b. 1946) “Film Stills from the Sultan Family Home Movies” (1943-1972), in which Sultan chose individual frames from his family’s home movies and enlarged them. Although the images feature the activities that epitomize suburban life, a sense of unease lurks beneath the surface of these images; cropped and grainy, they resemble surveillance or evidence photographs.
And from 1990, an interview with Larry Sultan in BOMB.
“The home movie stills were my point of departure. At that time in my life, I was obsessed with memory. I would watch my family’s movies, as a probe, kind of a petites madeleines.”
