PAST EVENT 12/13/2003

Home for the Holidays
Terrible Television: The Swimmer
Lori Rogers
TRT 06:20
Lori is a video artist who uses home movies and other flea market film and video finds in her work. In this one John and Jodee show us how to entertain indoors with a $3.00 inflatable pool. Lori intercuts that footage with a found T.V. commercial that compliments the home video footage.

The Adventures of Audrey and Emma
Jules Sears
TRT 02:00
Pets are often the subject of home movies and videos.

Singing & Dancing Mice
Kathryn Brockman
TRT: 03:00
Another pets-as-subject short. The title tells it all.

Collection of 16 MM Film shorts
Total 14:55
More than contemporary movie reconstructions, home movies accurately reveal the way our world looked during periods of history.

The Show Off
Charlie Chaplin (subject)
Vintage behind-the-scenes footage of the little tramp in his Keystone years, some time around 1915.

With Lawrence in Arabia
Thomas Edwards Lawrence (subject)
A bit later than the Chaplin clips, the real Lawrence in historic, authentic sepia tone footage.

Home movie footage from about 1929.
The subjects are several generations of a wealthy family. Shot primarily on Atlantic City beaches and boardwalks.

Home movie footage from the 1940’s.
The same family now on a trip to the mountains.

Home movies: Bob Pece (subject)
8MM Film about 25:00
It turns out my dad was an excellent cameraman--good lighting, nice long shots. Included are views of Disneyland in about 1957 and Newport Beach at about the same time. Also shots of our home in South Pasadena, including several Christmases and a 1962 housewarming twist party.
