AARON ROSE PRESENTS ‘PROJECTIONS: A FESTIVAL OF RARE AND HARD TO SEE FILMS’
01.13.10
I’d definitely check out ‘Projections: A Festival of Rare and Hard to See Films‘…It’s been put together by Aaron Rose.
I’m actually surprised nobody else has done a similar type of film festival already, that I know of at least. Although, if you ever spend time at Forest Room 5 in Denver you’ve seen this concept done to a degree. Often patrons are left wondering what the heck is going on with the films they show filled with animals, magicians, and architectural wonders. Since they never have sound, you have no clue what they’re about.
The great thing about this festival though is that your probably going to get a little history lesson on social context and meaning behind the artist’s vision when making their film. I think this would be rad to check out…
Says Aaron Rose: “It is my hope that by removing all these films from their usual theatrical setting, and instead presenting them in an art gallery context, that people will perhaps look at them a little differently. Not just as entertainment, but as the works of true artists, who contribute greatly to the visual culture of our times.”
