Fred Camper:      My Films      Art      Bio      Contact

   My film Suicide Note (1976-84) has been restored and will be having
   its world premiere at the New York Film Festival, dates to be announced.
   soon. I expect to attend my building's Open Studios events for the rest
   of 2026, including the one on August 21. On the fourth floor, 53
   works 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.

   I have just posted an extensive 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. They 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.

   Recently published: my essay analyzing films by Lang and Ray, in English
   and Portuguese. My book Seeking Brakhage has been reviewed favorably.
   I have a jeremiad titled 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.
