Always Alone | 5:08 | HD & DV found footage to DV| sound | 2014
Based on the synopsis: “Black comedy about a lonely man who tries to teach himself to dance.”
Drawn from a screening (and another screening or two) by the now-defunct Experimental Film Coalition at the even more defunct Randolph Street Gallery, Jesse Malmed will reverse-engineer and recreate a screening using the opaque, often poetic, and fleeting descriptions artists give their work. Descriptions that attend program notes for screenings and the catalogues of distribution organizations will be activated and interpreted by makers and performers, allowing traces of these works to find their way to new eyes and ears again.
