JSF / Wexner Selections Out Now!

SELECTIONS FROM THE ART & TECH RESIDENCY PROGRAM
AT THE WEXNER CENTER FOR THE ARTS

ABOUT ART & TECH:
Since 1989, the Art & Technology residency program, part of the Media Arts department at the Wexner Center for the Arts, has provided in-kind, post-production support for over 250 artists working in film and video. This volume of The Journal of Short Film represents some of the highlights from the past 10 years. Art & Tech has been a sanctuary for artists who are looking for support (sometimes technical, sometime creative, and often both) and an environment that encourages experimentation and welcomes the technical challenges that so often result.

These works represent only a handful of the many that have been supported during our tenure. It has been a pleasure to work with such an amazing group of artists and we look forward to the next 10 years!

saturday's wexarts screening

--at Bento A Go Go sushi bar reception, after the screening

The screening at the Wexner Center went very well. My film was near the end of a strong program of diverse film. The evening was an eye opening experience to the variety and fortitude of the heartland state's film community.

The highlight for me was the chance to finally meet the documentary filmmaking partnership, Ohio's own Steven Bognar & Julia Reichert. Two delightful filmmakers whose work I admire, proved to be overwhelmingly approachable - at one point Julia took me around to be introduced to the other filmmakers I hadn't met. It was a good evening.

You should make time to see their film A LION IN THE HOUSE, and go check out the PBS site featuring bios, production blog, and back story on the crew and subjects of this award winning documentary about childhood cancer patients. It's worth your time.

I also had the chance to meet Matt Meindl, who's no-budget handmade films are sooo lovely. big discovery: we live less than 20 minutes from one another. Small world. His film LOLLYGAGGER is on the most recent issue of the JOURNAL OF SHORT FILM (vol 7).
