This project is currently underway at MIT approximately 20 films will be shown under MIT's Great Dome at the end of August, 2007 Working off of the idea that countless people can use an image in countless ways, SFM is seeking filmmakers to make 5-minute films with one of the 151 super-8 films that are three-minutes long each. This rare footage of fluid mechanics experiments was discarded in trash bins at MIT and dates back to1963. The footage varies greatly, from computer-generated models to hands-on experiments. The plan for this long-term project is to compile the 151 films after each filmmaker has recreated the footage and to show them together. Written descriptions should accompany each film as testaments of each filmmaker’s process of working with it.
