35mm is a collection of five works that use celluloid as the major structural component. This series of shorts reflect the assimilation of the motion picture into non-traditional digital filmmaking. 35mm presents itself as a body of work exploring celluloid’s place in the future of avant-garde cinema. The hybrid may represent the best of both mediums with the acquisition of the image on film and the advantage of digital post-production and distribution. At the very least it may be the final supernova before the analog world of gears and sprockets goes silent and dark.
