Packing recently I found an old VHS tape that had dubs from 8mm home movies going back to the late 60s. I had it digitized. So here we have 8mm film->VHS video—>DVD—>m4v—>Vimeo. And 30+ years in dusty closets along the way. Pretty far for these images to travel but here they are. This is Thanksgiving in Chicago; from my sister’s age, I’m going to guess it’s 1977. That’s me in the middle with the red headband. The music is by Philip Jeck. My father had no way of knowing that the film he was shooting would someday become a lo-fi cliche.
