For Joe
Synopsis
American experimental filmmaker Joel Schlemowitz here pays tribute to Joe of Swiss Camera, a friend who repaired all of his Bolex 16mm cameras. A collage of images and sounds playfully portraying the technical process of capturing and displaying film, Schlemowitz is perhaps sardonically directing his camera upon us, the audience. Simultaneously a portrait of precision and a celebration of the coarseness of film itself, FOR JOE evokes the rhythms and spectacle of capturing image in an earlier era of filmmaking. - Stela Jelincic
