A ROLL FOR PETER

Saturday, April 29 8pm Under the Stars and Free Pandora Park, 2325 Franklin Street

Iris Film Collective, in collaboration with Dance Troupe Practice is pleased to present “A Roll For Peter”, the touring program of films made in tribute to the late great filmmaker Peter Hutton.  

Hutton, an American artist and educator, developed a unique perspective on both urban and remote landscapes through his images from the early 1970’s until his death in 2016. His obituary in the New York Times described his work thus:

All of his films were silent. Generally devoid of camera movement and montage, they suggest sketchbooks or photographic albums. Many are reveries in which the only animation in a precisely balanced composition might come from a wayward breeze or a slight shift in illumination. Most of his films were voluptuously monochromatic. (Mr. Hutton himself was mildly colourblind.)

In the fall of that same year, filmmakers Mark Street and Jennifer Reeves, themselves former students of Hutton, put out a call for films to honour Hutton, each to be drawn from a single silent 100 foot roll of 16mm film. The call resulted in 35 films that screened in New York City and at Bard College in late 2016 on 16mm only, and there the program was set to end. However, when Eric Thiese, a contributor to the project, began talking to others in the community, he found tremendous appetite for a tour of the films across North America. To date, the tour has amassed eighteen stops and counting.

The films come to Vancouver in serendipitous confluence with two screenings as part of the DIM series at The Pacific Cinematheque of Hutton’s work (the second takes place on April 26). In keeping with the nature of the spirit of Peter’s films, the screening will take place outdoors at Pandora Park (2325 Franklin St, Vancouver, BC). We are thrilled to work with Dance Troupe Practice, artists-in-residence at the Pandora Park Fieldhouse, to put on this event - a movement-based expansion on the program will precede the films.

Also accompanying the “A Roll For Peter” program will be Peter Hutton’s film “Boston Fire”. Filmmakers in the touring programme: Dominic Angerame, Roddy Bogawa, Cassandra Bull, Jacob Burckhardt, Jesse Cain, David Gatten, Richard Max Gavrich, George Griffin, Eve Heller, Mott Hupfel, Nikolas Jaeger, Amanda Katz & Josh Lewis, Theodore Rex King, Robbie Land, rebecca (marks) leopold, Paul Marcus, Daryl Meador, Mary Beth Reed, Jennifer Reeves, Dave Rodriguez, Peter Rose, Lynne Sachs, Josephine Shokrian, Fern Silva & students, Jordan Stone, Mark Street, G. Anthony Svatek & Zachary Nichols, Eric Theise, Audrey Turner, Michael Wawzenek, Max Weinman & Jake Carl Magee, Timoleon Wilkins. NOT TO BE MISSED!

Friends in other parts of Canada, we encourage you to seek out the program at its other dates in this country:

May 5: Toronto, ON - Niagara Custom Lab May 8: Montréal, QC - Visions May 19: Edmonton, AB - FAVA

Portrait of a young Peter Hutton. <3 

He was one of my more inspiring professors at Bard—always encouraging and cool as a cucumber. I hope he is at peace now.

Nothing, not even the rain, could stop the Peter Hutton Tribute screening!  We all managed to squeeze into Pandora Park Fieldhouse and let the images wash over us while it poured outside, the rain letting up only just as we headed out into the streets at evening’s end... Thanks to Dance Troupe Practice for the use of the space, and keep your eyes peeled for A Roll For Peter coming to a screen near you in several Canadian cities well east of Vancouver!
