Near and Dear: An Album of Experimental Film and Video

"These film and video makers, close friends and celebrated figures, were selected for their commonality of embrace with nostalgic environments. This gathering manifests recreations of intimate memories and reflections of the natural world amidst rejuvenated and rejected keepsakes that define these personal testimonies. The exhibition will be an intimate encounter touching upon intuitive as well as structured disciplines and tutelage. A communal kinship and initiative can be found in this cross-generational dialogue amongst moving image practitioners. Near and Dear is dedicated to Mr. E, an avid participant of the open screenings at Millennium Film Workshop, whose groundbreaking films on 8mm and constant concern for shared viewings have inspired the reasoning and realization of what will take place on this special evening." -Lorenzo Gattorna
