IN TRANSIT Presents: 16mm is a series of 20 short, ultra-saturated, hand-painted films created by Canadian visual artist Jonathan Dueck in collaboration with I Heart Lung, Chad VanGaalen, DENEIR, and Son Lux.
Dueck manipulated film from discarded 16mm documentaries from the Calgary Science Centre. He scratched, scraped, painted, stamped, dripped, and splattered the film, resulting in a stunning, abstract explosion of color. In total, there are five unique films for each of the four collaborating musical artists, who lent their expertise and added compelling audio to the visuals.
Funding for this project was made possible with the help of the Canada Council for the Arts and generous donations through Kickstarter.
The DVD of Dueck’s videos was officially released last Tuesday, August 3 and can be ordered here.
