Fred Camper:      My Films      Art      Bio      Contact

   My just-restored film Suicide Note (1976-84) will have its world
   premiere at four New York Film Festival showings. I will attend my
   building's Open Studios nights this year including September 18.
   On the fourth floor, 53 prints from my Weeks and Months project
   can be seen when the building is open. Enter through the lot near
   3420 S. Racine. My work is in two locations, one near 4F4052.

   Here's am artist's statement on my films. I released eleven new films
   and related prints on May 17. They are silent, and consist of Interactions,
   Journals, Revisits, and Haikus, and are 4K, and are best seen projected.
   Here's an index page for my own films. There's a fine statement on
   Interactions by a young Brazilian, Pedro Accioly.

   Just republished: an older essay of mine Some Notes on the Home Movie,
   Recently published: Education, Reduced, a lament about higher education;
   also my essay analyzing films by Lang and Ray, in English and Portuguese.
   My book Seeking Brakhage has been reviewed favorably. I especially care
   about Our Flattening Culture, on our disastrous present and the restorative
   power of art, in the journal Logos, also in Portuguese

   Two friends have made videos about my art, Dreams of Lost Wholeness
   by Brian Hischier, and fred's unthreadings by Yoel Meranda.
