North

This film is currently not available.   
I found a decaying print of Nanook of the North buried in the archive at Northwest Film Forum. Vinegar-soaked. Warped. Unstable. I let it keep rotting. Then I pushed it further: through photochemical abrasion, through touch, through light. I approach the material not to represent it, but to hold it. To sit with its damage. To mark it with heat, with light, with gesture. I am not re-presenting the image. I am pressing against its surface, smearing its claim to objectivity. I see myself not as a filmmaker, but as an image handler.
