Along with movement, light is the primal element that makes all cinema possible. A bulb inside the projector shines, images on the film strip are thrown to a screen on the opposite side of the room, and through this magical process we see movies. Many film artists have been fascinated with light itself, and have used it as a subject and a defining structural element of their films. Filmmakers have explored refracted sun rays, illuminated moth wings, flicker effects, and light reflecting in water. They have let their films be structured by movements of the sun, the light of fireflies, or digital light processes. And they have even projected images through fog, making the projector’s beam of light the star of the film. As part of Atlanta Celebrates Photography 2005, Frequent Small Meals presents “Available Light,” a five-part series of historical and contemporary films inspired by the idea of light. |
