This evening's program of three films represents a selection from work made since my last appearance at the HFA. It has been a period of adjustment, an attempt to find the affective beauty in the film stocks that have survived the demise of Kodachrome, a stock I had shot all my life. After two shorter attempts with the disappointingly thin Eastman negative, I ventured into the murky world of Fuji negative. We will begin with The Return, my first exploration within its strange and intriguingly dark and silky palette, followed by August and After, a second, more light-filled evocation of the Fuji, and finally with April, a hybrid of Fuji negative and the new state of the art Eastman negative, a stock which has opened for me a whole new range of color and imagery. Each of these emulsions has its own sense of poetry, its own attractions and emphasis within the world around us. I might mention that as of the date of our screening, Fuji negative has also been terminated. – Nathaniel Dorsky
