Fred Camper:      My Films      Art      Bio      Contact

   My just-restored film Suicide Note (1976-84) had its world premiere at
   four mostly sold-out New York Film Festival showings, and will show in
   Chicago November 20. I will not attend Open Studios nights until
   December 18. On the fourth floor, 53 prints from my Weeks and Months
   project can be seen when the building is open. Enter the parking lot
   near 3420 S. Racine. I have work in two locations, one near 4F4052.

   Here's an artist's statement for my films. I released eleven new ones and
   and related prints on May 17. They are silent, and consist of Interactions,
   Journals, Revisits, and Haikus. Here's an index page for my own films.
   There's a fine statement on Interactions by a young Brazilian, Pedro Accioly.
   Just republished: a 1986 essay of mine, Some Notes on the Home Movie.
   Also recently published: Education, Reduced, about a college ad stressing
   the least "educaitional" aspects of education, and 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 my essay
   Our Flattening Culture, on our disastrous present and the restorative
    power of art, in the journal Logos., also available in Portuguese. There are
   videos about my art made by two friends, Dreams of Lost Wholeness by
   Brian Hischier, and fred's unthreadings, by Yoel Meranda.
