What happens when you bury reels of film in a landfill or raw film stock in a former nuclear accident evacuation zone? How about submerging film in a crab trap off the coast of South Carolina? This program showcases films born out of these experiments, as well as more intense chemical interventions that obscure, distort, or even completely remove images from film strips.

Films include:

sound of a million insects, light of a thousand stars by Tomonari Nishikawa

WHAT THE WATER SAID NOS. 4-6 by David Gatten

TWILIGHT PSALM II: WALKING DISTANCE by Phil Solomon

LANDFILL 16 by Jennifer Reeves
