[Frameworks] the nature of attention

[Matt Helme]

If no one see's it, does it exist? Known might be a better term to use.

For anyone who is interested in watching films that don’t exist, I will be doing a big show tomorrow night in Durham, North Carolina. It’s called “Movies All Over the Park” and will feature six programs on six screens. It’s not a Drive In, it’s a Walk Around. There will be a new batch of tobacco-related films called “Son of Nicotine,” another leafy one in  Brakhage’s “Garden of Earthly Delights,” a program called Century Club consisting  of films more than 100 years old, a 1964 short “Blind Gary Davis” (he lived in Durham 1927-41; we project the film on the side of a warehouse where he used to play), a newly hand-tinted print of Dizzy Gillespie and his “Be-Bop” Orchestra from 1947, the classic Deep South short “Hush Hoggies Hush: Tom Johnson and his Praying Pigs,” and a lot more. Plus, our special guest programmer Skip Elsheimer is doing one program on picnics and another on skateboarding. It may well be that many of
 the films we will be showing are on the internet, so, as it has been pointed out, they exist. But beyond those, I am pleased and proud to be hosting a screening of films that do not exist. Gee whiz, I have a whole studio full of them. I can continue working with non-existent materials for years to come.  If you are in the neighborhood and want to attend, see  www.ThirdFridayDurham.com.  Tom Whiteside           dba Durham Cinematheque since 1991
