Corner Film (2019)

2019, 16mm film, black/white, silent, 11 minutes. Los Angeles premiere! The 2018 film document of Douglas Dunn’s Corner Dance (1972) for solo dancer, performed by the choreographer in a freestanding corner installed at his studio loft in SoHo was shot on 400 ft. of expired 16 mm color negative film stock with a 100 ft.–capacity spring-driven hand-cranked Bolex H-16 Reflex camera. A black-and-white work print was struck from the color negative. The length of each shot was determined by the camera’s fully wound spring-driven mechanism, allowing for a maximum length of approximately 18 ft. of film to advance, i.e., 28 seconds at 24 fps (frames per second).
