Generations

Gina CARDUCCI 2010 USA Experimental color 30min English Digi Beta
Generations is about mentoring and passing on the tradition of personal experimental filmmaking. 70-year-old Barbara HAMMER hands the camera to Gina CARDUCCI, a young queer filmmaker who embraces DIY aesthetic in a time when digital dominates the art domain. Shooting during the last days of Astroland at Coney Island, New York, the filmmakers find that the inevitable fact of ageing echoes in the architecture of the amusement park and in the emulsion of the film medium itself. Editing completely separately both picture and sound, the filmmakers join their films in the middle when they’ve finished making a true generational and experimental experiment.
