SCREEN@SAB:
Timeless: Selected works from ART375 Moving Image
Single Shot
Using Haroun Farocki’s concept of Labor in a Single Shot, students composed a single shotvideo. No cuts were allowed. The subject of investigation was ‘labor:‘ paid and unpaid, material and immaterial, rich in tradition or altogether new, investigating how to film the choreography ofworkflow in one single shot in the best and most interesting way?
Rules to Play By
In this project students produced a series of five short videos that are between 15 sec to 30 seconds in length each, exploring the creative possibility of a series. You can also see mor examples of this project on the screen in the lobby of the DuBois Library.
Time Re-mapping
Students were tasked with exploring the experience of time and duration in moving images. The projects challenge how time is traditionally represented in video structurally and conceptually.

The 26th Annual Massachusetts Multicultural Film Festival
This week's screening is of a selection of shorts by filmmaker Vanessa Renwick (USA, approx. 75 min, in English).
The ethos of DIY (do-it-yourself) punk rock inspires this filmmaking. Vanessa Renwick visits from Portland, Oregon, where she is founder of the Oregon Department of Kick Ass and has been making movies for nearly 35 years. Focusing on glimpses of outsiders from the Pacific Northwest, or the landscapes that surround them, her creatively eclectic filmmaking covers a range of style, subject matter, and tone through experimental approaches to the moving image. Once you’ve seen them, you won’t soon forget. This evening’s screenings offer a range of extraordinary work from her extensive and often surprising filmography
Introduction by Josh Guilford, of Amherst College. The director will be present for discussion.

Educational, Professional, and Internship Opportunities
Arts Extension Service
As artists, performers, or craftspeople, we have learned how to make a stellar body of work, but few of us are making a living, or the kind of money we want from our art. Thanks to support from Springfield Cultural Partnership, you have the opportunity to devote one day to learn how to make a greater percentage of your living (or expand your income!) from your art. The UMass Amherst Arts Extension Service’s artist-trainers will be offering the 2019 Artist-in-Business Training at UMass Springfield as part of AES’ Arts Entrepreneurship Initiative.
Registration is required.. Register by Friday, April 19th. $15 registration fee includes continental breakfast, lunch, and training materials. Space is limited. Priority given to Springfield and Indian Orchard area artists.
