As film costs rise more and more filmmakers are switching to Super 8. There are, however, those who have worked exclusively in that medium from the beginning of their careers being totally committed to its limitations and advantages. William Scaff has been working in that format for over 15 years and has produced some of the most unique results we have seen yet. His rich imagery edited rhythmically in counterpoint to the music on the soundtracks is probably the most distinguishing aspect of his filmmaking. However, each new film is totally different from those which precede it. Our program will include the following films:

In This Trembling Shadow (1979) 16 min. Music; the Glass Orchestra 

Diet of Worms (1980) 26 min.

Bathers (1981) 42 min. –“This film has nothing to do with bathing. I am interested in people (artists, scoundrels, visionaries, aliens, scientists, etc.), and their interpretations of a routine daily occurrence. The idea was to make a collaborative work of film art in which the performer has complete freedom to act within a given set of boundaries (the bath).” — W.S.
