Floterian – Hand Printings From a Film History

The film employs a technique where sequences are contact-printed onto 35mm film and then reduced to 16mm for projection. This process highlights the relationship between different film gauge sizes, resulting in a fluttering effect on screen. This visual fluttering connects to themes of memory and the passage of time, making it an intriguing piece for collectors interested in experimental cinema.

Floterian is rooted in the exploration of film history and the use of various formats, showcasing the artistic journey from smaller gauges to 35mm. The title itself derives from an old English term meaning fluttering, which reflects the film's core aesthetic and thematic concerns. Collectors of avant-garde films or those interested in the evolution of film techniques will find this work particularly engaging.
