The films in this program explore the concept of collage in motion-pictures through juxtapositions, both stark and subtle, of media, aesthetic and authorship. The media incorporated into the films in the program include handmade marks, handmade objects, found objects, photographs, stylized computer generated imagery and live action footage. The act of collage reminds the viewer that a motion-picture is an object crafted by an artist or team of artists. These films feature the fingerprints of their creators prominently. They are also a lot of fun.

This program screened at the Wassaic Project in 2011.
