Lauren Dake
Lauren Dake, a Film/Video graduate candidate at MassArt and adjunct professor at the University of Rhode Island, is giving new life to old film. Dake’s latest project was shot on 50D and processed and scanned at Cinelab.
“My newest film, Strange Radiance, is a 16mm handmade film which combines found home movies of American families and a short film made in 1960 called Dream of the Wild Horses by Denys Colomb de Daunant.
“A bunch of wild horses were set on fire for his film and consequently died after it was made. I found a copy of the film in color faded bright red on Ebay for $10 and altered and destroyed it by hand and then optically printed it back onto 16mm film.”
