I am really excited to have a screening in Kumano, Japan. This program focuses more on the Chesapeake Bay area films. There will be a discussion and dinner after the event.

1. From Chance to Deal is a journey through Chance and Deal Islands located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Primarily a landscape work, each passage highlights the audiovisual rhythms of land, light and seascapes during the months of June to October.

2. The Light of Early Spring is a color super 8 film from the Journal of Drifting Hours series. The last three images were filmed at Rachel Carson’s home in Silver Spring, Md.

Rachel Carson was an author whose writings contributed to the global environmentalist movement.

The Journal series: Drifting moments, lyrical passages, memory impulses, landscape studies and visual notations explored on super 8 film

3. Avenue of Olive Trees is a b/w super 8 film recorded in Antibes, France during the summer of 2024.

These olive trees go back centuries and I wanted to highlight their timelessness, their serenity, but also their fragility, especially now.

I will provide the Japanese version soon and link to the place.
