35mm
is a collection of five works which use celluloid as the major structural
component. This series of shorts reflects digital technologies assimilation of
the motion picture in non-traditional filmmaking. 35mm presents itself as a body of work
exploring celluloid’s place in the future of avant-garde cinema. The hybrid may
represent the best of both mediums, the acquisition of the image on film and
the advantage of digital post-production and distribution. At the very least it
may be the final supernova before the analog world of gears and sprockets goes
silent and dark.
Robert Flowers has been making films and videos since 1985
and received an MFA in film from the San Francisco Art Institute. Robert’s work
has been shown in numerous Film/Video Festivals as well as the Anthology Film
Archive, Robert Beck Memorial Cinema and the Millennium in New York. Robert is
a PhD candidate at the University of Texas at Dallas' Arts and Technology
Program.
