Film Catalog: Online SearchFreude My Life In Art
(1973) 16mm, color, sound, 29 min Genre: Experimental Keywords: Personal / Diary / Journal "Freude's diary. It is very personal and light in form. We see a birth; scenes at home; on beaches; with friends; and a one; and clips from TV and films. It flows easily and it all has a very special warmth about it." --Jonas Mekas, Village Voice Rental: $40.00 |
Gary Adlestein Pink Venise I Like
(1989) Super 8, color, sound, 11.5 min Keywords: Environment & Nature, Personal / Diary / Journal A continuation of some of the concerns of my ITALIAN PLACES series (spontaneous, in-camera responses to place and situation) with the addition of the layering of images and sounds -- through AB printing -- which the overwhelmingly sensuous plentitude (paradoxical in a place that has whispered "Death" to so many) of Venice suggested.
"Venise dousse son plaiser tout de suite." -- Jean Cocteau Rental: $25.00 |

Dan Agnew Pursuit of Knowledge
(1967) 16mm, color & b/w, sound, 13 min Genre: Experimental Keywords: Environment & Nature, Landscape & Architecture, Personal / Diary / Journal PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE began in June of 1966 and was completed one year later. The first footage (in B&W) was shot at Foothill Junior College in Los Altos Hills as a course project. After graduation (and during!), I continued shooting until leaving for my three-month trek through the High Sierras. My mountain footage is a complete other trip, a microcosm of which is incorporated into PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE. I came to Philadelphia in Fall of 1966, continued school at Drexel Institute and Temple University, completed my film, and dropped out of school by Spring of 1968. The campuses which appear in the film are: Foothill, Stanford, Drexel Institute, University of Pennsylvania, and Purdue University in Indiana. Also appearing in the film are: The Sierras, my California apartment, Pine Hill state park in Indiana, several unnamed public disasters, and the Philadelphia Art Museum. Rental: $20.00 |
Dominic Angerame Honeymoon In Reno
(1983) 16mm, color, sound, 3.25 min Genre: Documentary Keywords: Personal / Diary / Journal I was hoping to strike it rich on our honeymoon in Reno. In a way I did, seeing that the camera was filled with very rich imagery in recording this visual journal of our brief visit. The soundtrack is a creation of Katie Steinorth who translated the Buddhist chant of Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum into the words oh honey, bring me home. Rental: $20.00 |
Dominic Angerame A Ticket Home
(1982) 16mm, color, sound, 9 min Genre: Experimental Keywords: Personal / Diary / Journal "Going home -- from west to east; return. Part of a series of turning points. recording a journal in color language; shadows of faces. Realities and memories come out frame by frame. The rhythm of a summer vacation. Rituals of light to dark -- manifesting form. This is a translation of old friends and old places. A ticket home. This film journal resembles the memory charged visual fragments of a cross country trip to the filmmakers home. He calls it a respectful portrait of old friends and old places but tensions filled images combined with the rambling chant and urban ambience of its soundtrack indicates that a more anxious attitude, perhaps toward a fleeting present, underlies this personal document and ticket home." -- Lynn Corcoran, Media Study, Buffalo
"Snippets of sunsoaked home movie footage, jumbled around kinetically, become a wild whorl of color and motion that's like watching the spin cycle in a washing machine. Dominic Angerame, with this film, gives you the distinct impression that someone's handling their childhood memories on a silver platter." -- Frank Young, The Tallahassee Flambeau Rental: $30.00 |
Paul Arthur The Cliffs The Slick City Detour
(1985) 16mm, black and white, sound, 13.75 min Genre: Experimental Keywords: Personal / Diary / Journal Living in suburban New Jersey watching too much film noir on television.

Rental: $35.00 |
Maeva Aubert Loisada, Avenue C
(2004) DVD NTSC, color & b/w, sound, 52 min Genre: Documentary Keywords: Environment & Nature, Personal / Diary / Journal "Loisada" means "Lower East Side" in New York slang. It's also the name of the neighborhood where the community garden at Avenue C is located. I flimed this garden throughout different seasons at a time when I was a community gardener. Far from being a didactic documentary, my film is a personal experience, plastic, sonorous and poetic. Gardeners told me their day to day life outside the garden, and others, more reserved gave me recipes or told me about their favorite film, etc... LOISADA, AVENUE C is a parable on the mixture of human and urban culture in New York, in an enclosed garden, a living place that "knits" social links between inhabitants in a lower income neighborhood. It's a film about human nature and the quality of life. I made my film between 1998 and 1999 when I lived in New York. The interviews with the gardeners came first; it was my way of getting to know them. While walking from my home to the garden, I recorded the cacophony of ambient musical sounds that became a part of the city's din. Later, I filmed in 16mm, Super 8, and also used a still camera.
