A video essay on the films and videos of contemporary Canadian experimental media artist Christine Lucy Latimer.

There's a brand new review for my film “60 Second Thoughts: Volume 3” from film critic and Guggenheim Fellow, David Finkelstein. Here's the link to the article on his Lake Ivan Film Journal Substack: open.substack.com/pub/lakeivan... #experimentalfilm

#UselessWisdom returns - enjoy... "Shadows are insults in waiting."

When I was a kid in the 1970’s, there was no VHS, but they did have an abridged super 8mm version of Star Wars at my branch library. I pained the staff every day to run it for me over and over again. It was only twenty something minutes but I loved it. (Image credit: originaltrilogy.com)

#UselessWisdom on a Monday. "For every injustice, a prayer. For every godsend, an umbrella."

At what point do random events pile up and become cosmically intentional?

Despite growing up in #buffalo I didn't know Tony Conrad super well - but we did work on a cable access TV show together called "Studio of the Streets" from the steps of city hall. I do love this wonderful book, "Introducing Tony Conrad: A Retrospective" edited by Cathleen Chaffee. #ExperimentalFilm

Dan Browne has created a great starter pack for #ExperimentalFilm check out all the new folks joining Bluesky every day!

Loved part one of this episode where Dan and Dominique discuss the early days of the Paris Films Co-op. Excited to hear part two on the How to Enjoy Experimental Film podcast @h2eef.bsky.social

I wanted to celebrate the amazing #ExperimentalFilm writing of Scott Macdonald. I missed him by a few years when he was at Bard College, but I’ve always loved his essays and interviews. If you haven’t read him, look him up. Lots is great books and collections.

TGIF #UselessWisdom "Unless people say you're funny, avoid comedy at all costs."

#UselessWisdom on a totally normal Thursday... "Vibration for pleasure, stillness for fear"

From my long-gestating feature The Star Rover. "I could never live out completely one full experience, one point of consciousness in time and space. My dreams, if dreams they may be called, were rhymeless and reasonless." #experimentalfilm #16mm

Who are your #ExperimentalFilm heroes?

Another #ExperimentalFilm book recommendation(s). If you don’t know filmmaker, PeterTscherkassky, definitely check him out. In addition to his miraculous camera less filmmaking, he’s a huge authority on Austrian film history. Both the book about his work and his book “Film Unframed” are great!

Currently listening to the latest episode of “How to Enjoy Experimental Film” @h2eef.bsky.social it’s about the Paris Films Co-op as it celebrates its 50th anniversary. Co-Op president, Dominique Willoughby, discusses the history of #ExperimentalFilm in France. linktr.ee/h2eef?fbclid...

#UselessWisdom rolls on... "If you have a horse face, don't get caught eating hay."

Curious: what cinematic experience truly changed you?

Got a nice review from Lake Ivan Film Journal (run by filmmaker/film critic/Guggenheim Fellow David Finkelstein) for my film, "No Day No Night". Give a look. lakeivan.substack.com/p/common-dil...

Such a great book about the wonderful #ExperimentalFilm maker, Louise Bourque - edited by @stephenbroomer.bsky.social Louise’s work is so deeply personal yet universal and open. There’s also a great two part episode with Louise on the How to Enjoy Experimental Film podcast @h2eef.bsky.social
