Comfort Film Presents:
Former Prairie: Alternative Views of Chicago on Film

AJ Rose: 1967 or PENIS (1965)
"the first real film from Chicago" -Jonas Mekas (probably)

Tony Phillips: THRESHOLD OF DOUBT (1976)

Deborah Meehan: FORMER PRAIRIE (1978)
"visually beautiful... it was shot entirely at night in Chicago's Pilsen
neighborhood. It's a narrative fragment that strives to combine distance
and attraction, terminal boredom and the unattainable." -Barbara Scharres,
Chicago Reader

Renata Breth: SITE (1980)
The filmmaker as archaeologist uncovers layer after layer – hidden
landscapes beneath the cityscape. Until within a sea of grain: WE SEE.

Jean Sousa: SPENT MOMENTS (1984)
An abstract narrative shot from the point of view of a house - the woman is
seen from an angle of the wall, the corner observes her. This is a film
about fleeting sensations in the midst of ordinary activities, the energy
of heat, and the activity of the imagination.

Best,
Josh B Mabe
