Saul Levine

A brief documentary focused on the history of experimental Super 8mm filmmaking. Prominent figures of the "s8" boom of the 1970s discuss their work and their first encounters with the medium.

A short video in which Levine, facing a crescent moon, remembers Marjorie Keller telling a dream she had with her female friend, also a film director, who had died.

Conceived, performed and edited by Saul Levine. Camera by Pelle Lowe. The title says it all. "A film in the old style." -- Bill Brand

DEPARTURE is a film that was shot in 1976-77 during a year when I lost my job due to both cutbacks at the campus at which I taught and my involvement in the movement against them. I collected footage and imagined I would edit the film together the night I left. I was unable to do this and it took several years to finish it.

A confrontational rant addressed to the judges of the films entered in a Super 8 competition at No Exit. Both Mark and I were surprised when not only was it shown at the festival but it generated much laughter and angry conversation. -Saul Levine

"A journal of change in pattern of living and seeing as determined by an often misfunctioning but faithful camera."-M.K
