(Mom and Dad's Wedding April 23, 1938). 1938. Director unknown.

(5/21/00)

This is film of actually more than a wedding. It includes scenes of landscape photographed while traveling and playing in the snow. Everyone plays up to the camera, making faces and hamming it up. The camera itself--hand-held--is constantly in motion, giving this picture something of a Brakhage-like feel. It's all very agitated.

It's also very dark. My guess is that that is how the film was made, rather than a quality of the print. I found this fiolm irritating to watch, though I'm sure the familyhad fun making it.
