About this project
Having spent time recently in a few renowned museums, I noticed the signature video pieces that accompany the exhibitions – primers about the installation to educate the unclean masses. My project is a satire of such exhibits: an autobiographical travelogue video essay entitled "39-A: Een Reisverhaal Van Eindeloos (A Travel Tale of Interminable)" using as a starting point the Super-8 home movies shot during a family vacation to Kennedy Space Center in 1981. My goal in “39-A” is to take something ordinary – in this case the Super-8 footage itself - and analyze it ad infinium using vibrant animations of the space center, maps detailing the journey itself, and vintage photographs shot during the trip. Funds will enable me to have the original footage scanned in high definition and promote the finished product via film festivals and online distribution.
