PRIVATE PORTRAITS: NEW SUPER-8 II
Films by Peggy Ahwesh, Saul Levine, and Tom Rhoads
This second program of new super-8 films presents three films which employ complex approaches to sound and image montage in creating portraits of themselves, friends, and the activities around them. Peggy Ahwesh’s Martina’s Playhouse (1989) is “a film about the riddles of our sexual construction and the complexities of play.” Saul Levine’s Notes After A Long Silence (1989) combines images of construction, a walk in the woods, old movies, and of Harvard Square to create both a self and cultural portrait. Warm Broth (1988) by Tom Rhoads, uses repetition and an uncanny feel for landscape and objects to create a 1950s-like evocation of suburban alienation.
