I found this really interesting, and I was especially glad Charloween was around to explain/discuss a bit more. I remember finding it much more immersive than I was expecting - Char obviously curated this to be relatively accessible, andI think she did a brilliant job of pulling in the right context to explain what we were seeing.

And Variations on a Cellophane Wrapper does build up on you!

Thank you! It was a gift to be able to curate some neat bits of found footage and visual music for an audience that has a keen interest in editing and experimental video art (even if we don't call it that). It was my honour to take everyone on a guided tour through a mix of things I find neat, and some canonical bits of found footage film history. :D
