FIX - 16mm colour, optical sound, 3.5min - Michele Stanley 2001
film synopsis
FIX

To put into a stable or unalterable form.
To prevent discoloration of a photographic image.
To direct the gaze steadily.
To be concentrated, directed or attached.

 

Hand painted & scratched 16mm and 8mm film blow-ups and photo-animation are used to manipulate images of urban, natural and human landscapes. Conventional compositions are gradually transformed into ephemeral abstractions as the emulsion is forcibly eroded and reapplied by hand. FIX was created as part of the 20th anniversary of LIFT in 2001. It has recently completed a year-long national tour.
