Film Booth

Die DVD enthält 10 Kurzfilme des mehrfach ausgezeichneten Fotografen Alvin Booth. Zur Seite standen ihm grossartige Komponisten und unter anderem die New Yorker Tänzerin Wallie Wolfgruber. Die Verpackung im hochwertigen Jewel-Case mit einem 6-Phasen Lenticularcover inklusive einem Booklet mit einem Text von Prof. John Wood wurde mit einem iF Design Award ausgezeichnet. "As an admirer of Booth's work, I expected to admire his Film Booth DVD equally; however, I was completely unprepared for what I saw - something so original, so beautiful and so gentle that I could compare it to nothing else because I had seen nothing like it. It evoked an earlier era, putting me in mind of Auguste and Louis Lumiere, who, in addition to inventing the autochrome - the first color photographic process - also invented movies. They patented their combined camera and projector, the Cinematographe, in 1895 and produced what is considered the first movie, Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory. The following year they produced over forty films of everyday French life. In Film Booth the artist has also assembled his modern reel of ten films, remarking that, 'If MTV had been around 100 years earlier, perhaps my films might have been a kind of 1890s pop video.'
