Errata 6:00 16mm 2005 Errata is an experimental film in which I used a photocopier to generate frames of animation. Each frame of the film is photocopy of the previous frame. Both black & white and color photocopies were used to make this film, approximately 4,600 copies total. "Errata is the perfect illustration of the sublime power of animation as a process of bringing nothingness to life... The film brings to life the forgotten, the unnoticed, and the accidental - and beautifully illustrates the notion of the trace." - Michelle Puetz, University of Chicago "[Errata] marvelously shows how a simple device - a photocopy machine and endless reams of paper - can result in magic. By copying copies, one generation after the next, the latent marks and smudges take on a life of their own. Their shapes grow heavy or fade as quickly as they appear, but what is most striking is their movement - liquid, intense and entirely unpredictable. Errata shows us the shadowed footprints of the ghost in the machine." - Genevieve Yue, Senses of Cinema Selected screenings: Tribeca Film Festival, 2006 International Film Festival Rotterdam, 2006 ImageForum, Tokyo, Japan, 2007 Onion City Film Festival, 2005 Ann Arbor Film Festival, 2005 Chicago Underground Film Festival, 2005 |
