In Search of Bas Jan’s Miraculous (1997, Mixed Media, B&W/Color, 39 minutes)
A conceptual documentary about the real life misadventures of 1970's Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader. The video is part faux documentary - part Hollywood Technicolor Biopic (with stolen bits of films from classics such as: Lust for Life and The Sound of Music, among many others). The project was featured on NPR's This American Life. Written/Directed by Erika Yeomans Edited by Victoria Plummer. Voiceovers by Ira Glass, Lizzy Yoder of FischerSpooner, Kate Gleason,Ford Wright, Jim Strahs, Judy Elkan and Kevin Hurley.
7:45pm
Chubby Buddy ("The Last Castrato") (2003, Super 8, color, 13 minutes)
Originally conceived as a live sound project as part of a sound series at AC Project Room in New York, April 2001. It was later re-imagined as a short “super 8 home movie”. A narrative based on the memories of Frances Howard, a man who gave up a career and marriage in order to act upon some peculiar impulses. Written and directed by Erika Yeomans, edited by Sandra Montiel (Pose Down, Punch Drunk Love), Music by Pierre Foldes (LIE), Performed by Mot Filipowski, post production Truckstop Media, Braden King.
8:00pm
Paging Dr. Freud (2007, multi-frame video, 17 minutes)
Comprised of archival materials from Yeomans’ tenure as Artistic Director of the experimental theater group Doorika, Paging Dr. Freud is a multi-frame montage based on image, music and sound bites pulled from various media elements from Doorika performances (1990-1999). It is not intended as a documentary of the theater's history, but rather a new artwork made from elements of past work combined with source materials such as film clips from Suddenly Last Summer, Cruel Story of Youth and the 35 mm Doorika film Hardhead Flair. As a dense montage - it creates a meta narrative that plays off pop culture in all its messy glory. Featuring Casey Spooner, Ford Wright, Bobby Conn, Jon Langford, Jim Skish, John Dooley, Amy Galper, Marianne Potje and edited by Christine Giorgio.
Christine Giorgio earned her degree in Film Production from Boston University. While in Boston, she managed a post-production studio that provided affordable and skilled editing services to local filmmakers. Upon moving to New York City, she began working at the non-profit Film/Video Arts as Post-Production Supervisor and Staff Editor. The organization, founded in 1968, has a prestigious reputation for serving the independent film community. At F/VA, Christine completed work for such clients as the New York Philharmonic, Viacom, KOCH Records, the San Diego Philharmonic, and others. She has also edited many narrative shorts and features films, including Dale Nielsen’s Mother’s Nature, Jill Wisoff’s Creating Karma, and Daniel Stedman’s Mother. Christine is currently producing web videos for the New York Philharmonic and freelance editing out of her Soho studio.
