December 13: Festival of (In)appropriation




Los Angeles Filmforum presents The Festival of (In)appropriation: Contemporary Found Footage Filmmaking (Part 2)
Curated by Jaimie Baron and Andrew Hall

In this program, a continuation of part one presented last June, we bring together a selection of recent films that appropriate footage from diverse sources in vastly different ways. Our goal in choosing these films is to show the range of approaches contemporary filmmakers are taking in repurposing found materials. Indeed, tonight’s films push the boundaries of the “found footage” film raising questions about how we define “found footage” filmmaking in an era in which ever more materials are available for reuse in ever more complex ways. We believe that together, these films reveal how (in)appropriation is flourishing at this social and historical moment. – Jaimie Baron & Andrew Hall

Sunday December 13, 2009 at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California.
