Reel Camp 2006, June 24
A one day activity in which
members of the public can work with seasoned video directors to create a short
film sequence. While the idea of the sequence is fundamental to the art of the
movie, every director approaches the problem of making a sequence according to
his or her intention for a particular project. At the "Reel Camp", the
directors pick a topic and indicate their style of working in advance;
participants form groups in order to work with one or another director/topics.
At the end of the day, the directors and participants re-assemble; participants
of each group share their experience with the whole group. In the following
days/weeks, the footage acquired during Reel Camp will be edited by the director
into a final sequence to be shown at the festival.
Film Screening:
Shorts will be screened during Plymouth Independent Film Festival at
Plymouth’s historic waterfront - outdoor large screen - prior to Raiders of
the Lost Ark.

Plymouth Independent Film Festival Unveils Opening Night
Program
 Film,
fun, jazz and art combine to make the Plymouth Independent Film Festival’s Opening
Night Reception on Thursday, July 20th at the Plimoth Plantation
a night to remember with performances by Boston jazz greats Stan Strickland
and Rakalam Bob Moses, interactive architecture artist and composer, Christopher
Janney and an art exhibit by Carole Bolsey.
Stan Strickland performed with jazz greats Herbie Mann, Shirley Scott and
Marlena Shaw. Strickland has appeared at Jordan and Symphony Halls in Boston, at
the Carnegie Recital Hall and Town Hall in New York, and in Washington, DC at
the Kennedy Center. Mr. Strickland teaches at the Berklee College of Music,
Tufts University and the Longy School of Music. In 1991 Stan received the Martin
Luther King Music Achievement Award from the city of Boston, in 1994 the
Cambridge Favorite Musician Award and in 1996 an award for Exemplary Service to
the mentally ill from the Massachusetts State House.
In the spirit of this year’s festival theme, direct cinema – truth (and
innovation) in film, Stan will open the evening with a special solo piece “HeartBeats”
accompanied by sounds generated by his own body through a device, which captures
the electrical impulses to the heart and surrounding muscles via wireless
telemetry. Created by Chris Janney, who received the SM in visual studies from
MIT's Center for Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) in 1978, the work was premiered
by Sara Rudner of the Twyla Tharp Dance Company at Boston's ICA in 1983 and
later used by Mikhail Baryshnikov for his “White Oak Dance Project.”
Christopher Janney studied architecture at Princeton University, music at the
Dalcroze School of Music and Environmental Art at MIT then meshed his talents to
create installations that make architecture spontaneous while bringing music to
life visually. His “projects frequently incorporate optical phenomenon which
respond to presence.” Janney describes his work as “combining physical space
and jazz…using sound and light interactively to create architecture that’s
reacting, moving, changing – a performance architecture.” Sonic Pass Blue
and Reach New York are installed at the Lehman College, City University
of NY and the 34th Street subway station. With environmental artist Joan Brigham
he created Hopscotch, part of the permanent exhibit at the Smithsonian,
was first seen at Boston’s Children’s Museum prior to the opening of the new
Federal Post Office in Washington, DC. However, perhaps his best known local
installation is the Acoustic Staircase installed in the Boston Museum of
Science.
Following the performance of “HeartBeats” Bob Moses will join Stan for two
jazz sets. Bill Milkowski, in Downbeat Magazine describes Rakalam Bob
Moses’ music On Time Stood Still as a “sprawling production of
DeMille-ian scale.” Moses blends Monk, funk, tap, hip hop, bebop, big band
blues, Bahia, Tanzania and the avant garde…while paying homage to the spirits
of Gil Evans, Charles Mingus, Rahsaan Roland Kir, and Jaco Pastorius.” Bob
Moses has worked and/or recorded with Charles Mingus, Gary Burton, Keith
Jarrett, Pat Metheny, Lyle Mays, Herbie Hancock, Jack DeJohnette, Jaco Pastorius,
Michael Brecker, Bobby McFerrin, Dave Sanborn, Bill Frisell, John Scofield, Dave
Holland, Charlie Haden, David Sanchez, Chucho Valdes, and Vernon Reid among
others. On July 20th Moses will share his joy and “Buddha zero creative
infinity” music with PIFF ’06.
 Carole
Bolsey, this year's featured artist, received a BA in Painting from Bennington
College in Vermont after receiving a certificat at l'Ecole des Beau-Arts in
Geneva Switzerland and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, Italy. Since
then her work has been exhibited across the United States and Japan. Her works
are on display in public, private, and corporate collections. A full-time
painter, Ms. Bolsey will teach painting at the Rhode Island School of Design
this fall. She was a Lecturer in Architecture/Visual Studies and an Assistant
Professor of Painting and Drawing at Harvard University from 1988-96. Bolsey
will display paintings, installation pieces and sculptures throughout the
reception area.
Together, these artists will add an exciting dimension to the 2nd Annual
Plymouth Independent Film Festival which features world renowned documentarians
offering Master classes, screenings by emerging and established filmmakers,
workshops, discussion groups, outdoor movies on the waterfront and more. The
festival runs from July 20th to July 23rd this year in Historic Plymouth. For
