Prof. Michael Gitlin’s project in NY Film Festival

Saturday evening, October 2nd at
8:15 at the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center, in Views from the Avant
Garde, the experimental section of the New York Film Festival.

Dust Studies, HDcam, 2010, 9 minutes

A domestic portrait rendered at miniature scale, Dust Studies brushes along the
edge of what can be seen. Staying close to the ground to collect what gathers
there, the film looks deeply for everyday things and finds them drifting in the
pleasant, meandering headwaters of a young child’s language.

After a short introduction to basic principles, a variety of shots are
deconstructed in the following format:
– Why It Works: an introduction to a particular type of shot
– How It Works: callouts point out exactly how the shot works the way it
does–the visual rules and technical aspects in action
