Other v.1.1.

Re-filmed 8mm home movies (Yugoslavia) and arbitrary public dialogues, both (still) self-collected and self-archived, are put in seemingly random correlations, which explore an individualized, diary-style relation to (auto)ethnographic and historic vision that doesn't aim at storytelling, but goes down to question the ontology of the image itself, as well as preconceived concepts of history, (collective) memory, archive. Other investigates found footage as experimental ethnography - the artist as archivist and the artist as (auto)ethnographer. The film is structured as a nonlinear, fluid rhizomatic system.

Finding Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.
