Hello everyone,
Here's a list of some up and coming screenings of my film "Charming Augustine" right here in Brooklyn and far far away in Eastern Europe and Russia. it would be great to see you at any one of these places.
Charming Augustine
Stereoscopic 16mm B/W Film Sound 40 minutes.
Cast: Tea Alagic, Greg Mehrten, Josh Stark, Steven Rattazi, Kevin Maher, Eileen White, Eliza Fernbach
Original music: Miguel Frasconi

Charming Augustine was inspired by series of photographs and texts on hysteria published in the 1880’s under the title of the Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière. It is an experimental narrative based on the case of a young patient, Augustine. To conjure up a time just prior to the invention of cinema I shot the film in a stereoscopic format to suggest a different direction that cinema might have taken had it been invented in the 1880’s. Ultimately what I wish to convey is a fragile, spectral, what if…a moment in time when the moving image was on the brink of existence in a form not yet standardized.

Screening following a performance of Min Xiao Fen trio.
