Strange Day on Maui _1970  Jimi Hendrix

Length 15 minutes

A film by Duff Hendrickson

Remastering in HD from 16mm film for preservation in public & private archives. A non-commercial project.

http://surrealstudio.com/jimi.html

Project to professionally restore and HD digitally preserve the 42 year old experimental psychedelic 16mm color film of Jimi Hendrix shot on island of  Maui in 1970 by a DMT affected Duff Hendrickson. We will take the original camera film and have a top Seattle film lab carefully re-splice and clean the film, and then scan each 16mm film frame in sharper picture in higher resolution than by shown by video in the past.

The restored movie in digital HD approx resolution ( 1440 x 1080p) will be donated for archival use to private archive collections, and public organizations such as the National Archives, Seattle Art Museum, and Experience Hendrix Museum for preservation.  Also copies will be offered for donation to the archival libraries of University of Washington & University of Hawaii, and the Internet Archive organization.Perhaps you will also have a copy.

If you support the restoration and preservation of the movie you will also get a digital copy of the 15 minute film for your personal library.

It is my hope that my original edit of the film will preserved by some, but I understand the contemporary mash-up culture with their creative reworking of art.  
 
I filmed at the Rainbow Bridge concert, but my film was not part of that movie production. Mine was experimental-underground-psychedelic,which was why I was allowed to film, without live audio recording. It was originally edited to the pace of 3 songs.

  See sample on YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izrO7fmwzhI 

Parts of the Strange Day on Maui restoration will be used in my next project which is autobiographical covering my art projects over 4 decades. Any surplus funds raise at this time will go towards the next psychedelic art movie project I will produce.
