The Girl Who Knew the Future (Remix) by Jennifer MacMillan (2009) super 8 to 16mm, 1 min. silent
A remix of a film I made 7 years ago, inspired by Guillaume Apollinaire's, "Les Collines," Calligrammes: Poems of Peace and War. Captured on Super 8 and transferred to 16mm using the optical printer, this b/w film is grainy, glittery, and French! I'm bringing it back . . .
"I've traversed the glowing sky
Where life is a melody."
- Guillaume Apollinaire
That's nice. 'Grainy, glittery, and French!' I agree. You should bring it back. Make another.

Jen: So lovely! I just saw Chick Strand's "Soft Fiction" (1979) at the Flaherty Seminar, which this reminds me of and that you should totally track down.

Oh, thank you, cinetrix, I am so happy to have received your comment! I am not familiar with Chick Strand's films, and of course, now I am so curious to see her work! Keep an eye out for Part 2 of the Remix . . . :)

Hi Jeanne, So lovely to hear from you! It sounds like your screening of Chick Strand's films was in perfect harmony with nature! I hear that she was an amazing person and artist, and I really hope to see her films soon. I love your description, "uncanny female force." You are too!
