Atlanta needs more people like Andy Ditzler.
Film Love, a series the singer-songwriter runs at Eyedrum, is the best - and
often the only - opportunity to see experimental films of all stripe,
intelligently presented.
Andy follows his curiosity in planning his screenings. Tonight’s program, which
starts at 8 p.m., is the second part of an exploration on the use of still
photography in film. It includes Andy Warhol "Screen Tests" and "(nostalgia),"
Hollis Frampton’s meditation on time, memory and photography. The protagonists
are snapshots and a hot plate.
Andy does this and other programs purely for the love of film. Running
screenings is the only way to see the films he wanted to see. I asked him if he
broke even. He said, "Often...I like to think of it as a party."
Party on, Andy.
