KODAK SUPER 8 FILMMAKING CHALLENGE
Director(s): Daniel Maldonado & Mike Vernusky
Episode #21 is a handcrafted film which explores and confronts our perceptions of visual representations. Titled “Hidden”, it reaches further into the illusion of reality, space and time. A disintegrating nightmare pulled together between worlds ultimately revealing the idea of “concealment”. Shifting hidden shapes punctuate and creep along in darkness with amputees in abandoned religious theme parks. New shards of the unconscious puzzle are added in while also expanding and collapsing simultaneously. Memory functions only as an act while objects become shadows of their own (shadows). Ultimately, the fundamental essence of the filmed image (to expose), is challenged in a back and forth struggle with darkness and with images that are hidden by multiple fragments of color. This becomes its structure. The color black serves as a virus to the actual celluloid, ready to hide ( its light) and infect. It’s here where revealing the “hidden” through the cracks of conciousness, takes precedent.
