Visiting Artist
A one-time-only, immersive, projection performance event of expanded cinema mayhem, Live Scratch & Stick Loops can only be experienced in person. It will not be broadcast online. The analog revolution is anything but remote; it can never be televised.
During September’s Local Sightings Film Festival, Avida Jackson and Devon Damonte led a hybrid workshop adventure in cameraless 16mm filmmaking, scratching into black film leader and sticking washi tape onto clear film. The event at this year’s Engauge will incorporate loops of footage made by the Local Sightings workshop participants, plus additional direct animation by Damonte and Jackson. Presented on multiple projectors, their performance will make use of all possible spaces in the theater.
Be a part of this unique motion graphics happening! Duration: approximately 45 min.

Engauge Experimental Film Festival celebrates sprocket-driven, artist-made work.
Each Fall, Engauge hosts screenings sponsored by the Interbay Cinema Society in partnership with Northwest Film Forum. The festival screens only work that originates on film, by filmmakers both local and international.
This year’s festival will be a hybrid model, taking place both on the web and at NWFF’s cinema in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.
