[Untitled: #20]1966

Close-up shots of a young white woman dramatically lit, holding hands to her head and yelling, looking fearful. Camera zooms in and out and moves around her. The remaining 2/3 of the film are shots of Robert Capa photos from WWII (including shot of pilot in plane painted with swastikas to indicate enemy planes he shot down), Spanish Civil War, and still frames from Alain Resnais' film, Last Year at Marienbad. Last shot is a sign: "Tradition of the New : Owens The End." Following a partnership with the Chicago Film Society to restore the 16mm films of SAIC alumnus Edward Owens, the Flaxman Library has recently finished new 16mm restorations of Owens' earlier 8mm work.
