Life and Film

Robert Stiegler, Lawrence Janiak

Lawrence Janiak, Robert Stiegler

A collaborative film conceived as a ‘picture postcard,’ the moving images recorded by the camera mirroring the card’s picture side, the sound track evoking its written message. Life and Film is a lyrical look at some Chicago filmmakers on their way to the Michigan sand dunes.

Capitulation

Robert Stiegler

Capitulation uses negative film stock, multiple exposures, and rapid editing to construct fluid layers of movement through urban Chicago. Merging abstraction with the documentation of everyday experience, it explores light and film as materials.
