Movie

[Untitled: #18]

An 8mm portrait film, consistent with Owens’ other portrait films in 16mm, where his lingering gaze, dramatic lighting, and play with focus and underexposure form emotional landscapes rich with tension, uncertainty and warmth. The camera foregrounds a young woman's expressive face and eyes, as Owens' plays with light, shadow and focus. Following a partnership with the Chicago Film Society to restore the 16mm films of SAIC alumnus Edward Owens, the Flaxman Library has recently finished new 16mm restorations of Owens' earlier 8mm work.
