THE MORAL LENS
Tuesday 9 February 2010
This workshop is open to artists, film-makers and art students, and there is space for six participants. For those inexperienced with 16mm film, a short introduction course will be given in the week before the workshop.
About the artist
Film-maker Deborah Stratman works in a territory between experimental and documentary genres. Her films, rather than telling stories, pose a series of problems. Many of her films point to the relationships between physical environments and the very human struggles for power, ownership, mastery and control that are played out on the land. Her recent work addresses American constructs of Freedom, the junction between technology and faith and contemporary locations of the supernatural. Stratman teaches in the School of Art & Design at the University of Illinois in Chicago.
